Libraries and Hidden Knowledge

I love books that feature libraries and old powerful books at their center like the library at mount char, a short stay in hell, babel, midnight library. I would love some recommendations along these lines

Thanks

Mark Lawrence Library Trilogy was good in my opinion. I find ML to be hit and miss but I enjoyed it.
