Why is it feminine?
Biblioteche is feminine in Italian because it derives from Latin "bibliotheca," which was itself borrowed from Greek "bibliothéke" (βιβλιοθήκη)—a compound of "biblion" (book) and "theke" (case/repository)—and Latin nouns ending in "-theca" are grammatically feminine. The feminine gender persisted when the word was adopted into Italian's Romance language framework.
