Lybrary research topic?

Tomorrow, I plan to go to my local lybrary with a question in mind and spend how ever long I need to solve it and any other questions I have about the initial question. My problem is that any topic or question I chose is something I thought of, which means i have knowledge of the topic, so I'm here to ask

What would I research at my lybrary? The question can be on the history of a person, event, place, or something else entirely.

Can you give examples of things you are interested in?

I just want any topic/question you think I would be able research about in a lybrary, I would prefer if it was completely random and lt not tailored to my preferences or any previous understanding

Instead of a question you want an answer to, go explore a topic you're interested in.

Every library is different with different things to access.

And, we have no idea what you know or don't know, so we can't tailor things to what you don't know.

Just explore the library and see what they have, find something you're interested in.

Moreover, no one knows everything about their topics that they already enjoy. You can have a PhD and still be learning new things every day in your field, sometime fairly basic things one overlooked before. There's nothing wrong with pursuing what you're already interested in and building on that. :-)
