If they are avatars of the Three, it is rather small ones. If you want an alternative explanation of the AIs, you could say that they are immature rather than fixed at below human intellect, except in their specialist areas. Given the right stimulus they can grow. This is likely a mixture of being under pressure, dealing with difficult issues, and contact with other intellects.
I'm reasonably sure Library Alpha would be happy to host a backup image of the Alexandria Archive. Now, if someone could include a sufficiently secure FTL communications node there then the AIs might start developing larger selves.
I'm sure Literacy would love to do some hands-on literacy teaching elsewhere, and Membership could talk up the benefits of library membership to just about anyone. Librarian, she'd like a better library to play with, solid hologram copies of everything that's ever been in print would be a good start - that'd stop library members walking off with HER books, or damaging them. She doesn't object to library users, more people with knowledge and wisdom from books is a good, but she wished they'd got a little more respect. And be less inconvenient.
