They have a resealable top. The library is most likely concerned about spills. Most of them have a no cans policy.

This message does not apply to hard liquors.
I’m very curious as to why, but I won’t argue.

Beer dries sticky, does hard liquor dry out clean? It’s mostly water and alcohol so it might be better

Generally relatively clean, though flavored liquors may contain sugar and most liqueurs do.

Grain Vodka is the only one that leaves no traces. I knew a bartender who would clean his customer’s glasses with vodka when he saw they were dirty.

Don’t mess with the hard liquor lobby. If you know, you know

In my experience the library is often visited by homeless people because it’s free entertainment. A lot of the homeless people around my area are also alcoholics and have you ever tried to take alcohol away from an alcoholic. It’s not easy.

There’s other good speculation on the reasoning but I wonder if it’s due to the younger staff put in charge of posting this notice. Maybe they pestered management about the specific reasoning until they determined that hard liquor did not meet the provided definition of restricted items, then added the last sentence as a form of protest.
