But why a library? Must involve books somehow, like the title of a book or something, like STOP and START are always in the same dictionary or something.

Aries and Libra. <---- Answer written in white, to avoid spoiling it for anyone else, highlight it to read.
Someone else can add the explanation. :)

Yep, that's the one. I will say no more and leave the answer concealed within the white text so that anyone who still wants to have a go isn't confronted by the answer as they scroll down.

Great work, guys.
