I wonder if there isn’t an as-applied 1st Amendment violation here since in such cases the law does not have the effect of regulating education.

BC>As the original NYT link notes, The Brandy Library and a couple of similarly named businesses registered before the law went into effect in 2006.

Can I check out one of your delicious chocolates and return it in a few days?

Then it’s not a library, is it pal?

Given the fertile imagination (and ocassionally dubious ethics) of New York business owners, this may well be a rule worth suffering.
