Yeah, given that we are dealing with libraries all over the US, there are bound to be some with the same or similar acronyms.

The same thing happens with universities - where I live, ASU means Appalachian State University; for people in other parts of the US, ASU would bring to mind Arizona State University, Arkansas State University, or any of several other schools that turn up on a google search for ASU.

So I don't think we should assume that a certain acronym means one specific library only.
