  There should be a better way to differ between those two in the questions. For instance, "Library (building)" = 図書館 and "Library (room)" = 図書室.

  Yeah, that'd be better.

  I'm confused by this too, can someone explain the difference between that and としょかん ? because I always knew library as としょかん ...
  
  Is it like more polite?

  *Edit It's interesting that this website teaches it as としょしつ
  but then asks the question and expects としょかん as the answer

  I also knew library as 図書館 before and learned 図書室 on this website. So I thought it'd be the right answer...
  I think the difference is as Thundreel said that 館 refers to a whole building and 室 is just a room.

  Ah so としょかん is like the library in a school and としょしつ is like a library building? That makes sense...

  Yes, I would think so.

  @M3gadriel The other way round, but yeah. :P
  館 (かん) = building
  室 (しつ) = room
