Summary: Moonstone Library pieces should be limited to a single copy
Details: Other special sets, like the Chess Set or most grand prize event buildings (like the Phoenix) cannot be acquired if you already have that building. I propose to extend that to the Moonstone Library set.
Other topics have touched on how unbalanced the Moonstone Library set is. And it's not really that overpowered compared to other event buildings, but you can fill your city with Libraries in a way that you can't with (say) Gingerbread Houses. It doesn't really matter if the Endless Scroll can make scrolls so much better than a manufactory if you can only have one. But when you can have as many as you like, then you can completely replace your factories with Endless Scrolls.
Spots in the Spire where set buildings show up can either be replaced by additional time/coin/supply instants, or just be removed and the other percentages increased accordingly.

Pro:
- Limits the damage that can be done by a powerful event set by limiting how much of it you can have without having to nerf the buildings for poeple that have one (or fewer) sets today.
- Uses a precedent set by other special buildings.
Con:
- Like the chess set, it would mean that upgrading the library would either mean using Royal Restorations or selling the buildings before you can re-earn them.
- Existing players with multiple sets would have a permanent advantage (similar to those who currently have multiple Phoenix or Bears).
