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. Joe McCollum FIA Knoxville, TN
