From wowwiki.com:
A library is a large room or building filled with books. A community with a library may be known as a library community. The community has access to a large collection of books, scrolls and other written material. Scholars and mages are seen coming and going, gathering information to help with their personal research; members of the community educate one another on various topics. Community members are knowledgeable about researching information in the library's archives.
There are numerous such locations in the Warcraft universe:
* Athenaeum, the library wing of Scarlet Monastery.
* The Athenaeum, the library section of Dire Maul. This is where the Shen'dralar remain in seclusion, storing lost knowledge in the multitude of shelves in the large room.
* The Library, the library maintained by the Explorers' League in Ironforge. The librarian here is the female dwarf Mae Paledust, a level 30 quest giver.
* Royal Library, the library in Stormwind Keep. This structure is very large, but the head librarian, Milton Sheaf, knows each shelf like it was his own son.
* Library Wing, the library wing of Northshire Abbey. Here you can find Brother Paxton, caretaker of the Northshire library and a level 27 quest giver.
* Library Wing, the library wing of Tyr's Hand Abbey.
* Library Wing, the library wing of the New Hearthglen Abbey.
* Guardian's Library, the library of Karazhan.
* Seer's Library, the library of the Scryers on the Scryer's Tier.
