If a library is open only to registered students, then access=private is
in order.
I don't think access=customers is valid. If there is a restaurant that
is open to the public, and they have a parking lot, and you can only
park in it if you are going to the restaurant, then access=customers
makes sense.
A key point for access=customers is that anybody may choose to be a
customer. If you can't decide to be a customer, that's what private
means.
Arguably, the most important things to do are:
ensure that all open-to-public libraries are on the map
ensure that rendering and search de-emphasizes access=private libraries
