When it comes to wasteland survival settlements only three things matter.
Location, location, location. Junkyard is more centrally located (in the
wasted west) so it acts as more of a hub of activity. Sacramento by
comparison is at the edge of the world (effectively). The only place to go
from there is back the way you came.
There is also the secrecy issue. Isn't the library fairly hush-hush about
it's inner workings and such. Isn't there even limited access to the
library itself? (Don't have the book).

All these would combine to make it a less popular stopping point for
wasties, and therefore it gets less space in precious source books.
