Candlestickmaker, fishing villag/plaza and library is a thing.
And chapel to get rid of everything. And goons, maybe.
Library is great. Well designed, has it's usage, but definitely overpowered and 5 seems to me the correct price for it.

Please explain to me how this is overpowered. Pretty much it needs draw to X to be good which you already stated.
With that said, Library is an okay card. No complaints. I think it would fit in well in any set. That's all I have to say.

I think he meant to say it would be overpowered at 4, in response to the original post. Because Library is fine enough, but certainly not a card anyone would call a powerhouse.
The obvious base set combo is Festival-Library

That's an engine, not a combo.
The obvious base set combo is Festival-Library, probably the second most important card interaction after Workshop/Gardens. I think that even today, Festival is the perfect card to go with Library. Library is best with disappearing money and non-drawing Villages, and Festival is both AND adds in a buy to the mix.

Festival-Library isn't really a strong engine on its own. You'll probably need to buy some Silvers to buy all your 5-cost actions, eventually filling your deck with silvers and Festivals. All these stop cards mean that any starting hand without a Library is probably going to be a dud hand. You need something extra - sifters (so, Cellar for base set games) or nonterminal trashers work very well for helping find that first Library.
On top of that, it is hard to rely on Festival for all your +actions since it's difficult to quickly add both them and the Libraries to your deck at the same time at their pricepoint. Hence you'd like there to be a cheaper village to buy on weaker hands or with spare Festival buys.
Library is a surprisingly great BM card though - you will never collide multiple Library and you basically always get a 7 card hand regardless of attacks.
