TOR can only contact other entry/mid/exit nodes on the ports they're listening on. The documentation actually requests that people set up nodes on TCP ports 80 and 443, for the exact case that this Houston, TX library seems to be in.
The bigger problem is convincing the library's computer to run your software without getting caught. Even then, there's no guarantee that the computers have direct Internet access; it's likely everything is funneled through proxies. -- Shawn K. Quinn <skquinn@speakeasy.net>
