I believe it’s just a library table.

Actually this is a writing desk with what is known as a flip top drawer. I believe they were originally made popular by Stickley Brothers ( see Gustav Stickley). Their library version of this had book shelves on both sides. This is probably not a Stickley or it would be so marked underneath. Could have been made anywhere from early 1900's through the 1940's. I would suspect the earlier part of that date range looking at what little I can see of the construction and materials.
