I like using the new “empty” bookshelf interspersed with the full books shelves to create some depth, for me it also doubles as a place to hold my enchanted books (albeit it takes some hunting to find the ones I am looking for)

I have a wizards tower that uses a mix of normal and chiseled bookshelfs. The chiseled ones also have a nice top texture, so they function both as a bookshelf and floor.

Daylight sensor for keyboard black glass pane for screen

Better idea for computer:

  1. Easy computer: pressure plate for keyboard and vertical trapdoor with painting for screen.

  2. Hard desktop computer: for keyboard, 1 block down with carpet on top, piston together 2 armor stands with chainmail helmet, then piston a block for table down on the chainmail helmet. For screen, place an armor stand holding up a shield crafted together with a black banner on the floor. Then just piston a block for the table down on the floor. Then add the remaining table and don't forget to place a mouse (button) on the right side of the keyboard.

Put an enchantment table in the very center of the library. Cover all of the walls with bookshelves(occasionally the empty ones) with some brewing stands along the walls. Put more bookshelves around the center. Create a second floor and have 4 staircases around the library. Don’t forget a librarian counter at the entrance.

I was thinking about suggesting a 2nd floor too, Only I’d suggest building the 2nd floor at the bottom of the dome and building 2 staircases that form a circle around the center of the room

Looks more like a greenhouse or winter garden but you could combine it. A cosy winter garden with bookshelves and seating areas for relaxed reading and taking care of plants at the same time.

Wood. Idk what anyone else is saying, bit i think wood to offset the stone would look nice. Oak or maybe spruce, for natural colors, or pale oak for unnatural.

First, I'd divide the space into separated rooms and wings. This will make it feel a lot less overwhelming and leave a lot less empty space.

Other than that, a front desk for the librarian, some bookshelves, and seating areas should do nicely as the primary interior details. Don't forget potted plants and carpets as well to nail a cozy vibe if that's what you're going for.

Unless you want the dome to smoothly connect to the walls, a narrow catwalk would look cool on the inside perimeter of the dome with a spiral staircase in the middle. Could have bookshelves act as the supports.

What I like to do for my library interior is to put rows of bookshelves and chiseled bookshelves (some with 1-6 books for aesthetic) on top put slabs. I like to make them uniformed height (4-7) blocks high but you could go for a more broken down look if you want. Around the side walls where there are no windows, I would put bookshelves with other decoration blocks as well (pots with plants, brewing stands, chests, paintings, maybe some bigger plants made out of tree leaves) even in one corner you could add a ladder to the second floor (lot of people said that and I like the idea) I would also add some reading areas. Like some tables made out of slabs with chairs made out of stairs. I also think an enchanting table in the middle would be a great idea as a center piece. One way to make a max level enchanting table without taking up loads of room, is to make it recessed into the floor (so cut out a 5x5 area into the floor and on the outside edges place book shelves. On the inner 3x3 put slabs and right in the middle put an enchanting table. You will need one row with another set of bookshelves on top but you can do that on the opposite side of the entrance and boom you have a nice maxed enchanting set up that doesn’t take up much room) hope that helps and please show us updates of the interior when you’re done! Great build by the way! Looks so beautiful

Hidden room opened by a book being removed.

You use a comparator into a chiseled bookshelf to detect when the redstone goes too much down, then open a piston door.

A couple rows of books for sure. I'd try making them 4-5 blocks tall with a wood slab on top for the larger area. For the smaller areas, 1-2 tall with slab, though a reading area with seating could be cool there too. For the layout... I'd try to keep it as open feeling as you can since you have the beautiful skylight dome.

Some carpet could be cool too, but you wouldn't want to overdo it and cover that nice flooring.

Edit: trapdoors and stairs could also be used with the wood slabs and look nice

Add bookshelves, some chiseled bookshelves filled with books (don't have to fill them all), a front counter, and lots of sitting areas like couches. Also since your ceiling is high enough add some chandeliers. You could also add some enchantment tables and a lectern with a book on it. Dang your flooring looks like carpet from a library in real life
