Strongly disagree.
So long as K8P is populated by civilised races, preservation serves little purpose. Even if K8P is lost, preservation still isn't useful unless the hold is reclaimed again.
However order will become relevant within decades, so long as K8P isn't overrun.
Order plans for the library to be useful to the current civilisation. Preservation is a gift to the next civilisation that rises from the apocalyptic ashes of this one.

Most libraries are dedicated to one God or another, so why not follow the trend? Carve dedications to Verena, Valaya, Quinsberry, and Hoeth into the very bedrock alongside subtle nods to Ranald, and make allowances for large public shrines to the more acceptable Gods.

Despite the best efforts of librarians, practically every library eventually has to resort to The Stacks when the amount of books outstrips the ability to impose order on them. Every scholar has known the experience of delving deep into a maze of dimly-lit shelves many times their height in search of a volume that the library's records insist is in there somewhere. Seek from the outset to ensure that no visitor to your library ever suffers this fate.

Modern Library Science revolves about finding information.
First, you need to find out what information your patrons need (because trust me, they certainly don't know).
Second, you need to find that information.
Third, you need to deliver that information.
Order is the focus that best aligns with that, and is the foundation we should be building on. Everything else is secondary.
(Holy is pretty cool though, I'll give it that.)

This is the bane of librarians everywhere, and should be the primary concern. To everything else, I trust the dwarves.
Although I was tempted to go with security, and then just put the Liber Morris on a shelf in the high security wing and see how long it sits until someone notices.

There is an apocalypse inbound. It would be nice if the library lived in case of failure.
That's very human.

Seeing as the apocalypse in question would unmake reality if is succeeded I think the point is moot.

Not necessarily. Sigmar and Archaon will naturally survive the destruction of the world because they can't die. Maybe one of them can carry a book with them in the process in Age of Sigmar

Honestly, given how much stuff survived the End Times, I am genuinely tempted to write an omake of Stormcast or whoever finding the Library, intact, floating out in Azyr or wherever.

I know the Chaos Gods, Horned Rat, Sigmar, Archaon and Gotrek survived. I also think Thanquol survived or something? What else survived the End Times?

Teclis made it out.
That is End Times lore which is very much non-canon for this quest. Personally I would rather take the Dark Gods at their word when they say that they will unmake the world forever into their twisted playground, since that makes more sense that Sigmar pulling a new world from his ass.

Don’t think of it as dying; just as leaving early

Teclis, Morathi, Malekith (ish), Alarielle, Eltharion (sort of), Gork and Mork, Mannfred, Nagash, Arkhan the Black, Neferata, Kroak, the Slann, Lustrian Temple Cities. And that's just what I could think of without research.
