Does anyone know of any c++ libraries that can load some spreadsheet

I'm making a simple address book so I can learn applications design and
I'm trying to store user data such as addresses and phone numbers etc.
Using such libraries won't teach you application design.
Why not design your program using just C++ and the STL?
Create your own file format and save the data in that.
If you want GUI, get MS-VC++, read Petzold's "Programming
Windows", and learn Win32API. Then you'll have forced
yourself to design an app, pretty much from the ground
up. Finding some library that does most of the work
may speed design time, but will hardly serve to "teach
you to design apps".
Hint: there's something in the C++ STL called "multimap".
I think you'll find it very useful for phonebook design.
