It's a good question. The TOS says:
1 Exclusivity. When you include a Digital Book in KDP Select, you give us the exclusive right to sell and distribute your Digital Book in digital format while your book is in KDP Select. During this period of exclusivity, you cannot
sell or
distribute, or give anyone else the right to sell or distribute, your Digital Book (or a book that is substantially similar), in digital format in any territory where you have rights.

I would imagine that library downloads would count as distribution.
ETA: And this is why I get narky about the "it's JUST 90 days exclusive". No, it's not. It's exclusive for the entire time you're in the program. It's just that you can leave after 90 days. Most authors don't bother to. That's forever exclusive. So, yeah, it's not just B&N fans being impatient for 3 months.
