The measure word for library is 座 (zuò). I think larger buildings or structures that have a more permanent or immovable location use 座. It is also a measure word for mountains, skyscrapers, towers, and bridges. I am guessing that any building or structure that is built to last a long time would use it.

Yes, although to me 个 is just as correct in the sense that it applies to libraries that do not occupy a whole building as 座 seems to imply.

层 [céng] is a measure word, whereas 楼 [lóu] is not. If you'd like to use 楼 it would be 几层楼 [jǐ céng lóu]. However with 层 here 楼 is already implied, so adding it seems redundant.
