The Library, Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast by Robin McKinley:
None
The Great Library, Thursday Next chronicles by Jasper Fforde:
The Great Library contains every book ever written, both as literal texts and as worlds with living characters who act out and protect their stories! It's about the metafiction! It's about narrative shape and autonomy! It's about metaphors that are alive and ready to fight back! Also the Cheshire Cat is there and Miss Havisham does illegal drag racing.
The Library Starship Alexandria, Krøniken om stjerneskipet Alexandria by Jon Bing:
The library ship Alexandria flies between the stars in the 1970s Norwegian children's book series, in a universe colonised by humanity - but travel between planets takes years, and communication is at the speed of the fastest ship. Alexandria and her sister library ships travel from world to world, bringing the totality of their stored databanks of knowledge to each world, free to use for a time, free to copy and keep - and when she inevitably leaves, her librarian staff settling into cryosleep once more, it is with yet another world's knowledge added to pay forward. Vote for Alexandria, not just because "giant library starship" is cool, but because her mission - to gather, preserve and share the totality of human knowledge - however unrealistic a goal - is at the very core of what libraries are and aspire to be.
Athenaeum, Nevernight Chronicle by Jay Kristoff:
All the books that never were! And bookworms!
Grimm Collection – New York Circulating Repository, The Grimm Legacy by Polly Shulman:
it's a library where you can check out fairy tale objects. there's also collections for science fiction objects and horror novel stuff. and it goes in depth to like what pages do and how the call numbers work which is pretty fun for a book about libraries to do
Bag End library, The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings by JRR Tolkien:
Not the largest collection, but in possession of THE primary sources regarding the Fellowship of the Ring and the adventure to the Lonely Mountain, as well as several other historical texts and translations that may otherwise have been lost to time without the care and keeping of Bilbo, Frodo, and Sam.

Audrey-”Yeah no kidding...It’s so weird to hear your voice again...”
???-”The years have not been kind to me but i guess that was my karma for just walking away....”
Audrey-”...I don’t know what you want me too say....I hoped you would be happy with the decision you made....I tried to forget about you...”
???-”I thought I would be...I thought she was the one...How are the girls?”
Audrey-”....They are ok....They’ve grown so much....Azula still asks me about you sometimes...Aiden..... what happen.....”
The Grimm Legacy series is honestly so amazing, and I dont know why there isn't a bigger fanbase.
Like come on people your missing out on a great plotline, ships, and did I mention plotline?!
(Imma be honest I was doing a project and for some reason I remembered this series. It hit me like a train wreck. So naturally when I went to re live my childhood and found zero fanfic, I got sad)
Shelia is the worst un-flirty Sim I’ve ever had.
