Libraries mentioned in The Old Cape Magic:
p. 14: It was entirely possible, Griffin knew, this was the real reason [his mother had] called: to remind him of who she was, who she'd been, that she still had privileges at the Yale library. She might not actually need any books.
p. 16-17: [Griffin] supposed it was possible she really did need the books from Sterling. At eighty-five, her physical health failing, she was still mentally sharp and claimed to be researching a book on one of the Brontes ("You remember books, right? Bound objects? Lots and lots of pages? Print that goes all the way out to the margins?"). But he made a mental notes to check her list to make sure he couldn't find them in his own college library.
p. 46-47: But to Joy his dreaming might have sounded more like a promise. "A professor's house, then," she said, exited, when he mentioned teaching. That meant a library with floor-to-ceiling bookcases and comfortable chairs for reading, a big OED on its own stand, a small stereo for quiet, contemplative music.
