2-hour parking in the US

In the US, I often see public parking where there's a hour limit (e.g. at a public library).

Can I simply park there, and after 2 hours, come back and re-park to the next slot in the same parking lot?

Is this a "technically correct" thing to do? Since it seems like this may defeat the purpose of the hour limit, is it frowned upon?
