What did she mean by this? Did she recognize me as il/lit/erate? Was she just tired and cranky? Was she just trying and failing at being friendly? I really feel like she put some venom in that question

Even if you weren't reading entirely too much into this and it even slightly mattered what your librarian thinks, and even if it weren't by default true that you are a fucking idiot simply because you're like 20, who gives a shit?
Anyway you are young. And every year she gets further away from that age and the new generation of college freshman look younger.

>Was she failing at being friendly?
I get the feeling that happens in most situations for you.

She was complementing you for looking young, my young autistic friend. Do not perceive others as failing to be friendly because your own insecurities have taken hold. Not everything another person says is an attack on you. Pay attention to their eyes, the way they say things, and the connotation they give to their words.

Lol you should've seen the look on the librarian's face as I was checking out American Psycho in sixth grade.
