The Great Library

In the District of Whirlwinds, near the Great Wall, is a marvelous library. It consists of a number of buildings which lie nestled in the branches of a tree almost too large to be believed, each building connected by bridges. some examples of the building style (only more enclosed and with better flooring. Around the trunk is a huge spiral staircase, though there are also a number of lifts which hang from the branches.

The Library houses any books that characters here might be familiar with, but not books that they wouldn't know. Please post here with suggestions for books.

Each building holds a different section - science fiction, fantasy, non-fiction, self-help, etc, etc. If any room runs out of space, a new building will appear elsewhere among the branches.

At the base of this gargantuan tree, near where the spiral staircase to get to the branches begins, is a plaque with the following poem written upon it:

What miracle is this? This giant tree
It stands ten thousand feet high
But doesn't reach the ground. Still it stands.
Its roots must hold the sky.
