Right now libraries are their own location types.

With increasing number of locations that could have text produced, but do not have a mechanism for it (temples, guildhalls) it might make sense to be able to make a library part of another zone, more or less the same way as now can be done with bedrooms for inns.

The current library zone would have to get another name, something like forum or university and with a library attached to it work similar as it works now.

Temples could have libraries assigned to produce texts about that specific religion and associated poetry and music.

Guildhalls could have part of their knowledge written down. Creating a medical library should help those fortresses that rarely have to use their medical skills to gain a little skill nonetheless.

Potentially it would also allow for creating dedicated zones for the study of a specific area, like geography.

I mentioned a couple days ago it would be cool if you could attach libraries to temples and pilgrims would donate appropriate religious books. Then, your scholars in there could combine many different stories into one bible that would become the official religious text of your fort's sect of that god. It would also be cool if certain texts be deemed "heretical" by the scholars or even the god itself. And characters risk a curse if they read these books.

I like the idea that every designated place workshoo have a bookcase that can tech others the profesión so could start at a better base lvl

I earlier suggested the creation of laboratories in Research labs for some innovations; maybe libraries might be attached to them.

Some private individuals might also have libraries, especially those loving scholarship: someone loving poetry might have plenty of books about this subject. Other topics of interest might be private matters such as genealogy and legal documents about wealth.
