As I mentioned in a comment below I have recently been introduced to Garth Nix, through a friend giving me the Abhorsen series for my birthday (Sabriel, Lirael and Abhorsen). They are young adult fantasy books with their very own world, i.e. not (bad) Tolkien copies. And in Lirael there is a fantastic library; one of the characters gets a position as an assistant librarian and is issued a dagger as part of her uniform...
Garth Nix is definitely another author I ought to give a try to; there seems to be a fair amount of fanfiction for them around. And libraries are definitely a draw :)
