Spanish false friend
librería doesn’t mean “library”
It actually means bookstore.
The trap
Asking a librarian for the librería will send you across town to a shop — when you just wanted to borrow a book.
Example
Compré este libro en una librería pequeña.
I bought this book at a small bookstore.
So how do you say “library” in Spanish?
Use biblioteca.
