A '''Library Book''' is, as the name entails, found in the library's bookshelves. It's a crucial item to unlocking the [[Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]], as a shape's passcode is written inside of it.

{{Quote|Careful not to make a sound!|'''Sshh!''' [[Achievement]] description}}
All library books are a brighter color than the non-interactable books and are also crooked, making it easier to find them. Each library book contains a shape and a part of the password, being on the left and right pages respectively. Once the player has finished reading the book, the book will be discarded from their inventory with the book's contents being added to the bottom left of the screen.


== {{Icons|Usage}} '''Usage''' ==
'''Library Books''' are items collectable in [[The Library]] and are crucial items to completing the [[The Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]] at [[The Library]] (Door 50) of [[The Hotel]].
To interact with the '''library book''', the player has to press 'E' on it to read its contents. After the initial animation, the item will be discarded from the player's inventory.

== {{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 ===
=== Notes ===
* If a book has been found by another player, the avatar portrait of said player will be shown on the right of the passcode they've found.
* A player can 'read' multiple books at once.
*When solving the [[Lock Puzzle Solution Paper]], some library books contain codes that are useless and do not correspond to the code in the paper.
*There are a total of 8 library books to be found in the library, 5 of which are used to solve the puzzle.
*In the same way as the [[Room Key]], The book will emit a sound effect notifying you of its presence.
*Note that reading a book does not make noise, and therefore will '''not''' attract [[Figure]].
*There are currently 4 different colored books in the game: Blue, Purple, Green, and Tan.
**The tan colored ones blend well with the fake books, better than the other 3. Make sure to inspect each bookshelf carefully for those ones.


__NOEDITSECTION__
* ''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]].
