but it's not the same thing. At Bücherei you buy books and at Bibliothek you borrow books.

At Bücherei you buy books

No, that would be a Buchhandlung (book shop).

I second Successful_Try543’s assessment. I’ve never heard someone say they bought a book at a Bücherei.

As i already wrote: It is like that where i come from. I don't make the rules

In romanian, librarie is used for the ppace that sells books and biblioteca for the place where you borrow them and it doesnt show both on the map
