I think you're giving too much credit to the general population on this. Most people aren't that generous and would rather keep their tax dollars than spend money on something very little people will ever use... Especially calgarians/albertans who have a history of being really conservative with these things.
The government rarely ever allows the general population to vote on sanctioning projects because none would ever be approved (see Olympics). Your vote on the library came with whoever you voted into office because you gave them power to sanction it.
