There is "True Believer" by Nicholas Sparks. The main character Lexie is a librarian, and the main male character spends a lot of time in the library doing research. It is part of a two book series, the second book is "At First Sight"
Source(s): I've read the books, and work as a librarian assistant. - 1 decade ago
it's Merlin, my deer boy I hope your not looking through these books for spells now King Uther will have your head.
well I can say Harry Potter as they go to their library a few times

It -- Stephen King
Insomnia -- Stephen King
Incidentally, both library scenes are set in the same library.
