Looking at a map
Hi. Let's say you're looking at a map and there is a street between the post office and the library. Can we say the library is in front of the post office? Also, to use the phrase "across from," should the two places, the library and the post office, face each other, with the entrances to the buildings facing the street? Can the directions be different if a person is looking at a map and if he or she is telling the directions on the street? I hope my questions are clear. Thank you in advance for your help.

Also, the post office is across from the library. The spatial relationship works both ways.
