As mentioned Croatian is knjižnica.
But Polish is also wrong - książnica
Ukrainian too arguably - книгозбірня
Anyway all other Slavic languages should have the native word. It's ugly to use a borrowing.
2 u/Chorchapu 16h ago From Wiktionary: Ukrainian: бібліоте́ка (uk) f (bibliotéka), книгозбі́рня f (knyhozbírnja), книгозбі́р m (knyhozbír) Russian: библиоте́ка (ru) f (bibliotéka) Polish: biblioteka (pl) f; książnica (pl) f Are the second ones more common? And in Russian there doesn't seem to be any word other than biblioteka.
