    I noticed it's quite a common type of scene/plot. At least I remember it in:
    The Book Thief; 
    The Shadow of the Wind – especially vivid and detailed; 
    Beauty and the Beast;
    Scarlet Sails;
    – Definitely somewhere else, but don't remember where.
    Matilda is close to that, but it was a normal public library, and it was not something really surprising for her. 

    Does anyone remember other books with a scene like this?

    1. From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler by E. L. Konigsburg – the MC hides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, but there’s also a huge library
