My second sporcle quiz. Quite tricky, I think. I welcome suggestions for improvements.

Good stuff, surprised by some locations especially after WWII and I'm sure the Vatican may have an extensive library, but not situated all in the one location.

It might help to make clear it is Cambridge, Massachusetts rather than Cambridge, England (which also has a very large University library, though not big enough for this list!)

Thanks, but I thought saying which Cambridge it is might be too much of a give away.

The Yale library is the 3rd biggest in the US and bigger than New York Public Library, about 12.5 mil.

If you are going to accept "Harvard" then please also accept "Yale" without requiring the full name.

Sorry for the oversight - 'Yale' will now be accepted.

I'm not sure what you need to get "New York Public Library," but New York, New York City, etc. should probably work.
