Not trying to be an irritant but really curious. What is the difference?

They aren't asking for help with removing DRM from library books? It could be argued that they are not discussing removing DRM but rather how to keep their Kindle downloaded books in a format that can have the DRM removed so they can be imported into Calibre. Hairsplitting at it's finest.

I use them to remove DRM from books I own which gives me the nice feeling that I am not going to end up with a useless collection of files when the DRM servers are shut down. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt. Those books are for my personal use only.

I do not remove DRM from library books since the chances of Adobe shutting down their DRM servers before I finish a book are pretty slim. In my not so humble opinion, keeping a copy of a library book after the loan period expires is simply theft.

Again they are library books. You DO NOT own them.

To quote from Apprentice Alf's blog:

I can’t get the tools to work on my rented or library ebooks.

Support for removing DRM from rented or library ebooks is not provided.
