Hello teachers. I'm studying English writing, and could you help me with my question? Which do you think is the best among the following sentences?

1. A library is a room or building where you can read or borrow some books, magazines, and videos.

2. A library is a room or building where you can read some books, magazines, and videos, and where you can borrow them.

3. A library is a room or building in which you can read some books, magazines, and videos, and from which you can borrow them.

4. A library is a room or building where you can read some books, magazines, and videos, and from which you can borrow them.

I guess #4 is the best, but are the other sentences gramatically acceptable?

Thank you in advance.
Yukineko.

They all sound okay to me, although I might not use them all.

Could you tell me the most common expressions? What would you express it if you were me?
Thank you again.
