[3] Then you can tag each amenity=library feature in OSM with operator:wikidata=*. At the moment, it's unlikely that any OSM data consumer is pulling opening times from Wikidata for practical use, but this is an option for satisfying an immediate urge to record the information somewhere.

+1 - we do not need more relations, and operator:wikidata=* (or operator:wikipedia=*)
may be a good way to be able to download them together
