Deep in the oceans of Mur's moon, Ous, lays the dome city of Toriummora, and within the dome lays an ancient pyramid where millions of books are locked away from the light never to be seen again. When the land of Ous sank beneath the waves, the library was a means of preserving the collective knowledge of their entire world, but over time, the librarians grew crafty and jealous, weedling power from the Queen to keep all the knowledge to themselves.
From the outside it is a foreboding structure or carven stone with terrible base relief etched upon its surface, with its peaks hidden in the hanging flowers of the lower levels of the dome. Inside the books are stacked on shelves, as walls and dividers, and even towers in the librarian's twisted sorting system.
Thought I'd share some architecture and more worldbuilding, hope you enjoy!

They move with a calculated grace, their every action driven by a hunger for power. They covet the wealth of knowledge contained within the library's walls, sequestering it away from the prying eyes of the world. In this ethereal sanctuary, the librarians have crafted their twisted sorting system. Each book is meticulously placed, not only for its content but also for the hidden truths it contains.

It is a testament to the resilience of knowledge, a haunting reminder that even in the darkest depths, the power of words can endure.
