The library at uni has an awesome science fiction book section. Don't know why, but it is there and I enjoy it very much. :)
Some people get degrees for studying it no doubt. Over here you can do some interesting essay topics and modules...

The open spiral staircases lend enchantment, but if I visited this library, I'd have to use the elevators...I'm afraid of heights and get very nervous on open staircases, to the point of having to stop climbing.

As long as I can hold on I'm fine.  I have to work up that high sometimes but I hate it

Beautiful photo, but those cross beams look alarming, like they weren't part of the original design and added later.
