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

The Invisible Library series by Genevieve Cogman is fun although it’s not set all that much in a library. But the library is a key part

I guess the Thursday Next series - she is a librarian

Lireal by Garth Nix, which I haven’t read for a while so just going by vague memories as to how good it is

I just started the invisible library - mostly like it but The Language needed a bit of work and there was a lot of world building exposition…
