As all in Utopia the first books on a particular science give you more bonus than the next ones. Actually to you double the bonus you need four times the number in books. That is why you should
distribute the books in all sciences not putting all in just one. Of course you should focus on that science that generates benefits for your role in the kingdom.
I sugest you divide the sciences in four categories and use it to determine the ratio of books you will spend in each science:
0 - No use (just happens in two ocasions: food for undeads and military for faeries)
1 - little utility
2 - important
3 - expert
I propose homes and tools are treated as at least important and the rest according to their importance for your province.
Here is a table of sugestion for each race as an example:
Human

You should continous be reasearching new books during the age. Even on war you can keep it on minimal to receive the books in its lower price, and during peace time can keep it on Sustained to Focused. Is dificult increase the science rate above focused. Maybe it is only to sages and merchants.
Or attackers should also gain science with learn attacks. Although this is not very efficient at the beginning of the age, it becomes very intersting from the fourth year of the age.
If you have the intention to grow, is better you grow first to research later, while if you plan to stay in the same size it is a very good moment to you pump science becoming stronger with same land!
A good amount of science that should be reached early during the age is between 400K and 600K books per acre. But of course it can diminush a lot if you grow quite during a war, and we can reach 1 million book per acre or more if we gain a lot of science winning wars.
Schools and Libraries
As already mentioned on the Buildings post, as warring Kingdom we will not have much chance to pump science with schools. But Libraries should be used following the growth of your science.
