Chicago library

The most massive library I've ever seen by far. Over 8 stories of books, a museum and atrium on the top floor that is open for the public, dozens of bronze and marble busts, artwork from the entry hallway to the back viewing windows. Great views from the building, and located conveniently near a subway station. If you don't want to wait in line or don't have the money for the city's art museum, this library will do as a great replacement.
