Where to find people who love to learn?

I love learning new things. Reading new books on unfamiliar subjects, practicing intensely for months to develop a new skill, talking with an expert and absorbing decades of wisdom as they share a lifetime of experience. When I was younger I thought this was the normal mode. As time goes on I’ve realized not a lot of people I know enjoy learning this way. Where can I go to find people with a deep love of learning, not for money or a credential but just for the pure joy of it. Universities? Libraries? Suggestions appreciated!
