When we are fast asleep in bed, the Midnight Library opens its doors to all the night-time animals.

The National Diet Library is the national library of Japan and among the largest libraries in the world.
Tokyo Metropolitan Library is the metropolitan public library system for Tokyo, Japan. Imagine all the books inside here!
There is even a library of mystery literature. How weird and wonderful does that sound?
