I've got a few more thoughts on this, after the post-replies.

My theories say if you destroy whatever's holding the infinite dimensions within the Library stable, the spatial unfolding will rip the entire superstructure and everything around it apart as it expands at the speed of light. Considering that the TSAB Main HQ is built next to or even around the Library, wouldn't making a bomb out of this old monument totally worth it? It even fits Skane's speech about merciful decapitation!
However, the problem is the TSAB Main HQ, and the Library, is under heavy lock, key and sentry, blowing it up is gonna take lots of effort. If it wasn't so evil, I'd say the heist would be almost as fun as the Italian Job.

Now, the first possible objection would be that it isn't under-utilized, but the anime focuses on personal interactions and flashy battles, so we don't see the background scenes where everyone consults the Library. Entirely possible, and probably even likely.
Other than that, one reason might be that the TSAB doesn't realize how useful a resource it has. Which would turn into a TSAB bashing fest again, so we'll treat it as a done discussion.
The other possible reason I am looking into is that the TSAB knows how amazing the Library is, but they are consciously not making use of it at every turn, entirely because they do not want to be too dependent on the information from it. If a society has been conditioned that a certain resource is the fount of all knowledge, then it is plausible that in that society, innovation is dead. After all, why come up with something new, when there's an existing design for an analogue that probably works just as well?
Note that this is not a certainty, but merely a possibility. The belief in that possibility, coupled with some persuasive arguments, could have resulted in the TSAB overcompensating the other way. It's a slippery slope argument, but the potential risks may have been enough.

Interesting thoughts indeed. Noted, seeing what the Khrack says.

It used to be easier to stay away from hair-trigger, but recently, I've been blowing my top over the kind of silliness we're getting.
