Hello,
Are donations (by check, less than $250) to municipal public libraries generally deductible as "charitable" donations on Form 1040, Sch-A, Line 16?

They should be. According to Pub 526, you can deduct a gift to:
The United States or any state, the District of Columbia, a U.S. possession (including Puerto Rico), a political subdivision of a state or U.S. possession, or an Indian tribal government or any of its subdivisions that perform substantial government functions.
Note. To be deductible, your contribution to this type of organization must be made solely for public purposes.
