Can I add ~만 to -에서?
I am trying to say "I only study in the library" to show that the library is the only place I study (like not my dorm, the cafe, etc.)

Could I say "저는 도서관에서만 공부해요"?

Is there something that sounds more natural than that?

Answer

Yes 학교에서만 only at school 회사에서만 only at company
You can put 만 if you want to emphasize specific place :)

Answer

Well, it would depend on context whether 저는 could be dropped, right?

Answer

I can think of these three sentences with about the same meaning but slight nuance differences.
They are all natural.

저는 도서관에서만 공부해요 => I only study in the library.
저는 공부는 도서관에서만 해요 => As for studying, I only do it in the library.
저는 도서관에서밖에 공부 만 해요 => I do not study except in the library.

Answer

That sounds natural.  To make it sound more natural drop the 저는.
