Being a bibliophile runs in my family. After my mom passed, I had to donate three truckloads (Toyota Tacoma sized) to Goodwill just to get started with the house. I won’t even mention my own pile. 🙃

Although the French the bibli in the word for library, bibliotheque, the actual basis for bibliophile is Greek. 

It is a combination of the Greek word biblion (book) and philos (loving).

I wonder if they'll continue to use this term now that we're in the digital age and more reading is being done online and people are collecting e-books instead of actual books.  Will the word become e-bibliophile?

A booklover is still a booklover no matter the form it takes.
