Libraries are incredible places. Bursting with knowledge and beautifully crafted, it’s no surprise they get more than their fair share of onscreen action. From the contemporary libraries in our top high school flicks, to the classic reading rooms from our favourite fantasy series; these spaces are where the drama truly unfolds.
Because these scenes are all too often short and fleeting, we decided to get to know some of modern media’s iconic libraries a little better. Analysing what we see on screen, we dissected their layouts and studied their features to create a series of fun and inspiring floorplans.
It gives just some idea how much thought goes into creating these spaces. Take Game of Throne’s Citadel. Did you know its incredible library towers as many as thirteen stories upwards, and has an impressive list of real-world architectural styles on show; including Egyptian, Mayan, Greek and Roman?
Though this masterpiece of a library only exists with the help of modern CGI, not all of the industry’s most famous reading rooms are faked. Shermer High School Library serves as the setting for 80’s classic The Breakfast Club, but you’d be wrong to assume it was some set in a Hollywood studio. In fact, it’s a real school library in Des Plaines, Illinois that’s still in use to this day.
You can view more floorplans, and learn all about the most famous libraries of the big and small screen, here.

I cannot recommend this company enough. From first contact we received very high quality service. We were informed as to everything that was going on, which was backed up by the necessary paperwork, plans and phone calls. The fitter was competent and the work he did we can’t fault.
Mrs K Holroyd, Wrexham
From the initial meeting with the senior designer to discuss our needs, to the surveyor and then the installer, we were extremely delighted with the end result. The installation process went without any problems. All the staff were very professional and we would recommend Neville Johnson without hesitation.
Rosalind Tunnicliffe, Solihull
From our initial enquiry to the completion of our staircase, we have found all the members of the team at Neville Johnson to be very helpful, courteous and professional in all our dealings. The staircase has transformed our living space. We have been very impressed with this company from start to finish and would not hesitate to recommend them.
Pauline Treston, Northumberland
The room is transformed and has been hugely admired by family and friends. I was pleasantly surprised by the attentive and courteous client care – everything went according to plan and nothing seemed too much trouble. They were in regular contact before and after the installation. I would highly recommend Neville Johnson to anyone wanting to transform a room.
Cherry Murdoch, London
A real easy process, I would really recommend Neville Johnson to anyone. From the first phone call through to a very skilled fitter (who had to go above and beyond with our old house not having one straight line in it) it was all so easy. We couldn’t be happier that we chose to use Neville Johnson.
Richard Smith, Surrey
Our new staircase looks fantastic. We’ve had lots of compliments and it has transformed our hallway. The whole experience was great from beginning to end, from discussing our requirements to the finished article.
Mr & Mrs Begbie, Hampshire
From the initial contact with the company to the completion and installation everything was utterly professional; we have no hesitation in recommending the company to anybody. We are so pleased, that Neville Johnson is returning to install a new staircase!
Mr and Mrs Thorpe, Radcliffe
From the outset of our contract with Neville Johnson, we were supported with design choices, given expert advice and all deadlines were met. Everyone was courteous, knowledgeable and friendly. The craftsmanship is superb; our staircase is now an outstanding feature of our open plan lounge.
Judith Scorer, Stockport
From contacting the company to the point where the cupboards were fitted I was impressed by the whole process. The initial salesperson that visited was knowledgeable and helpful. I would certainly use Neville Johnson again and highly recommend this company.
Mrs S. D, Lincolnshire
From the moment the brochure was delivered, I was optimistic that we were buying quality. I wasn’t disappointed. All contact made was courteous, polite and clear, with phone calls confirmed by email. In short, we’re really thrilled with our library and it was effortless from start to finish.
