World's largest monastery library restored to its baroque splendour
I don't think you'd find such a library among the Franciscans. But the decor is gorgeous. In addition to religious texts, the library contains historical, scientific, and medical texts. Many of the latter were taken by the Nazis to Dachau and although restored, they still bear the concentration camp's stamp.
There are a few pictures to give you an idea of the size and beauty of the library in the article. Thanks to Adam Bennington, the JediLibrarian, for the link.
