Additionally, you could also just perform step #3 on /mnt/library
(again, *after* you've mounted the file system). It's mostly just a
matter of personal preference. You should not have to adjust the
permissions of /mnt. It does need to be "executable" by any user that
wishes to access the lower levels (such as /mnt/library) but that
should be the default (unless someone's changed it).

"ls -l /" should have an entry for "mnt" similar to the following:
   drwxr-xr-x    4 root root 4.0K Jan 19 03:12 mnt/
