Hmm...a true logophile would never call himself a verbophile.

Let's see...Greek words for library include
(a) biblion (alternate spelling byblion or bublion -- that's an upsilon)
(b) sekos...seka in the plural
(c) bibliothe^ke^ -- similar to the French...
(d) Mouseion -- no further detail at perseus.tufts.edu -- maybe a specific library (museum)?

I was thinking that bibliothekephile or bibliothequephile would be a bit much to spit out, but it has sort of grown on me.
