I agree that you shouldn't quit your current job until you have another more favorable job lined up. Although your current job isn't ideal for you, as you mentioned, it is still fairly cushy in some ways (like having flexibility to take vacation time!).
One other suggestion I might offer, to add to the good advice that's already been given in this thread, is perhaps to branch out a bit in your job search and look at maybe other kinds of full-time jobs that might put your expertise to use, but may not be exactly the kind of librarian work you're used to doing. I'm not familiar with the librarian field so much, but e.g. like maybe doing librarian-like work in a museum, instead of only looking at the run-of-the-mill library librarian work. Or a position in a school or university (i'm sure you've thought of that though), or something like that.
p.s. just fyi, hospitals also have libraries and a lot of librarian needs (i'm sure you probably know, but thought i would mention just in case...)


), or something like that.
