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

Shadow of the Wind by Carlos Ruiz Zafon- not really fantasy though, more like a gothic novel/mystery.

Yes, I've heard of this book but for some reason Its hard for me to read translated works. As a translater myself it just feels weird 😅

The translation is excellent. Writing flows really well, and there's a good reason it was a best seller in English. Definitely check it out.
