I suppose it would depend. Am I looking for specific information or am I here for enjoyment? I've personally never walked into a library or bookshop without something in mind, even if it's as vague as "I fancy reading a sci-fi book I've never read before". Normally I'll be looking for a specific author or genre, or a book about the information I'm looking for specifically.
If you're looking to populate your library with non- character specific books I'd just look up your local library's list and adapt the names to reflect your fantasy world. Daft is good.
Mostly because I would love to see them before I finish the second and third ones, lol. The copy and paste would be easy!

The challenge in a fantasy world is to go into a library and search for the non-mundane books, perhaps placed in the wrong place (or, as a Kendar, to make sure that they are in the wrong place).
Anatomy of the Sunsweaters: Roughly translated from Undercommon, this book is a biological and highly racist work depicting the anatomy of humans through the lens of a dark elf who has an ever-specific repulsion against all life that willfully exposes itself to the sun. The book has been translated by an aspiring doctor, who has taken the liberty to add his own lecture notes and oddly enough defend the dark elf biologist’s profane hostility. He keeps reminding the reader that cultural differences are not to be judged, that he wished that he had been there and that he quite likely enjoys the fantasy to be dissected alive by a dark elf.
Cooking with Grandma: This seemingly pleasant sounding book is actually a book written by hags, and goes into great detail explaining how the flesh and bones of older humans can be used to make delicious food.

A book titled "I prepared Explosive Runes this morning."
Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.
