With Great Sage's abilities, every book in the library could be recorded with a single scan, except for those that had been sealed away—Ancient One's personal collection.
In other words, Rimuru did not actually need to stay holed up in the library.
However, Rimuru still chose not to do that. It was better if a trump card like Great Sage was known only to herself.
The Marvel Universe's magic circles were neither small nor particularly large.
