{{Quote|Careful not to make a sound!|'''Sshh!''' [[Achievement]] description}}
'''Library Books''' are items collectable in [[The Library]] and are crucial items to completing the [[Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]] at [[The Library]] (Door 50) of [[The Hotel]].

== {{Icons|Overview}} Overview ==
Found only in [[The Library]], ''Library Books'' are books that contain a shape and number inside of them. The same shapes also appear on the [[Solution Paper]]. Understanding a combination of numbers and symbols from the ''Library Books'' and interpreting their order with the Solution Paper will allow players to solve the Library Puzzle. 

''Library Books'' are usually found surrounded by other, unreadable books in The Library. Compared to the other books, the colors ''Library Books'' were found in (blue, purple, green, tan, and red) are more vibrant, and they are usually situated at a slight angle. After the Content Update, all books, whether they are hinted by Guiding Light or not, have been given new models. Now, books that help solve The Library Puzzle are marked directly by Guiding Light, having its symbol on the book. Books marked by Guiding Light are also always a cyan color. These factors make them easier to find.

== {{Icons|Usage}} Usage ==
Pressing  {{Key|E}} (on PC),  {{Xbox|X|size=24px}} (on Xbox), {{PlayStation|Square|size=24px}} (on PlayStation 4/5) or the [[Controls|interact button]] (on mobile) will make players pull a ''Library Book'' off a shelf and read the contents. Once they are finished reading, the ''Library Book'' will be discarded from player's inventory, and the contained Library Puzzle hint will be shown on the left of the screen.

=== Notes ===

* ''Library Books'' emit a faint "shining" sound, similar to the sound [[Room Key|room keys]] make. So as long as players have their volume turned up, this sound makes it far easier to identify any books near them.
* Eight ''Library Books'' can be found in The Library. However, only five digits are required to unlock the door. To complete the code without guessing, all eight ''Library Books'' must be found, as the last ''Library Book'' always contains the last digit.
** In Super Hard Mode, 15 ''Library Books'' must be found, as the code is twice as long.
* Reading, picking up or opening a ''Library Book'' does not make noise, and will not attract [[Figure]].
* Each ''Library Book'' [[players]] collect will increase [[Figure]]'s [[Movement Speed|movement speed]] by 0.8 walkspeed.
* The ''Library Book''<nowiki/>'s symbols and numbers are always randomized.
* Collected books will show a portrait of a player who collected them next to its symbol in multiplayer. A player portrait is not present on the screen of players who collected it.
* Unequipping a ''Library Book'' while the "reading" animation is still active will still add its digit to the left side of the screen. Similarly, players can collect multiple ''Library Books'' at once, and all digits will be recorded.
* The books appear slanted and has a moon symbol on the book, ([[Guiding Light]]) giving an easier view to find them.

== {{Icons|Trivia}} Trivia ==
* Despite its icon, there are no brown ''Library Books'' in the game.
* There is a bug where if a ''Library Book'' is collected after entering the correct code at the exit, the hint on the bottom left of the screen will stay there forever.
* ''Library Books'' used to glow blue, but this was removed in the [[The Content Update|Content Update]].
