Don't modify the Eagle standard (as in "distributed") libraries - they are potentially over-written with every new release - create your own library, say, "fixitsan.lib", and put all your bits in there.
I do this for pretty much every part I use - there are quite a few "interesting" things in the Eagle standard libraries, not all of them good. By copying parts to your own library, you can then check that spacings, layers, pads etc. are all to your liking and are correct.
