The New York Public Library and college are significant symbols in the show.
It's the first place where the audience and Ghostbusters hear of a ghost, despite not actually capturing it in the film.
Furthermore, several books of history's meaning could be hidden from audiences due to the blurriness of the shot.
The film is an ancient story like that of Zuul and Gozer, so you figure it would've taken in some place more modern like a theatre.
However, there is no doubt that fiction is represented in the film as cards fly from library drawers and ghosts appear as well as the symbol of a quiet controlled environment, such as science and the library vs the chaotic environment of nature and the ghosts.
These were a symbol of intelligence that the Ghostbusters later fully realize.
Furthermore, ZUUL and Vinz are represented through quadraped statue shapes, much like that of the library's statues.
The ghosts are a story, possibly nothing more.
