bookroom

/bˈʊkɹum/ noun

A room in which books are kept; a library.

Word Origin Book comes from Proto-Germanic *bōks, which originally meant 'beech tree' — because early Germanic peoples carved runes on beechwood tablets. Room comes from *rūmaz 'wide, spacious'. So a bookroom is literally a spacious place for those beechwood-derived objects we now call books. The same root gives us booklet, bookshelf, and notebook.
