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?

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
