As long as it isnt TL0 whose only library would be the shamans' stories, I think it"s always avaiable

Well yes. Thus the 'keeping with character concept' bit. In quite a number of said pre or early printing press settings one very likely would need one or two of the Status/Wealth/Rank trifecta to get access to any significant library resources.

Also the big problem (pre-presses) is that books die. The original author may have written only the source copy. That was valued enough that copies were made and spread. However that process is so slow in the early stages of the Literacy Revolution that a library fire or two, a flood, a ship sinking and boom...a book dies.

Ware bloody Romans with torches! I find 2000 years is just about the right age for a grudge.
