* ''Fanfic/ChildOfTheStorm'' has the traditional Hogwarts library, as well as Strange's occasionally alluded to library. The latter is said to contain [[TomeOfEldritchLore books]] and technological treatises (even {{Magitek}}) from more or less literally everywhere; Alexandria, Atlantis, Asgard... being an immortal time-traveller, pack-rat, and master thief (as in 'steals the Tesseract when he gets bored'), he has picked up a ''lot''. Some of them are ones he's written himself. It's also implied to be something of an armoury, and given that with Strange, the question of location is not just 'where' but 'when', he's more or less the only one with access to it. As a result, everyone ''immediately'' takes notice when he notes that he's releasing copies of some of his collection.

* ''Website/SCPFoundation'', [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-1726 SCP-1726 ("The Library and the Pillar")]]. The Library has many volumes of philosophy, theology, and history from cultures that are mythological in the real world (such as Shambhalla (sic), Lemuria and Mu). It has animated statues that can speak various languages and act as guides for visitors.
* The website ''Website/TheWanderersLibrary'' (an offshoot of the Website/SCPFoundation verse) is set around an apparent extradimensional library which houses numerous books of secret lore.

* In ''TabletopGame/DungeonsAndDragons'':

* Candlekeep in ''VideoGame/BaldursGate'' has an enormous library of spellbooks and histories which are maintained and patrolled by a fanatical order of monks, as well as having at least one backup copy of the entire library in another dimension.
* The Imperial Library, the base of operation of writers and other important characters in ''VideoGame/BungoToAlchemist''. It is staffed with people with magical powers and populated by deceased famous writers who have been brought BackFromTheDead who can enter the world of books to fight evil forces trying to corrupt it.

[[folder:Web Original]]
* ''Website/TheWanderersLibrary'' could be seen as this, considering it's a supernatural library located outside of conventional reality and is filled to the brim with various books on many topics and stories.
* The Enchanted Library of the ''WebVideo/WitchCraftSMP'' contains biographies of every known 'Minecraft character', explaining their backstories from life to death, including those from ''beyond'' the [=WitchCraft=] SMP. The contents of the books can only be modified with "the rainbow crystal-encased scripture table" in the library. The Welcome Guide of the library explicitly states that travellers should be careful with what they do with the knowledge contained in the library and [[RewritingReality the power that comes with it]], and advises against reading one's own biography… lest they GoMadFromTheRevelation.

* ''Literature/HarryPotter'': The school library is this, especially the restricted section. In the [[Literature/HarryPotterAndThePhilosophersStone first book]], when Harry was trying to find out who Nicholas Flamel was, he sneaks in, opens a book, and it starts screaming at him, attracting Filch.
