The '''Library Books''' are items only lootable inside of [[The Library]]. They are crucial items to unlocking the [[Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]].

{{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 [[The Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]] at [[The Library]] (Door 50) of [[The Hotel]].

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 vibrantly-colored books that contain a shape and number inside of them. ''Library Books'' are usually found surrounded by other, unreadable books. To combat this, they are usually at a slight angle compared to other books, while also emitting a faint glowing sound, and being highlighted by the [[Guiding Light]].

''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.

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.

After the animation completes, the ''Library Book'' will be discarded from the player's inventory. Afterwards, the contained hint will be shown on the left of the screen.


=== Notes ===
=== Notes ===
* ''Library Books'' emit a faint glowing sound, similar to the sound [[Room Key|room keys]] make. This can make it easier to know for a player if there is a book on an aisle simply by having their volume up.

* Eight ''Library Books'' can be found in The Library. However, only five digits are required to unlock the door.
* ''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.
** To complete the code without guessing, all eight ''Library Books'' need to be found, as the last ''Library Book'' always contains a meaningful shape. This is also true for Super Hard mode.
** In Super Hard Mode, 15 ''Library Books'' must be found, as the code is twice as long.
* Reading a ''Library Book'' does not make noise, and therefore won't attract [[Figure]].
* Each ''Library Book'' the player reads makes Figure slightly faster; Figure cannot be outrun after collecting 3-4 ''Library Books'' and is nearly impossible to evade with all eight ''Library Books'' collected.
* 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'' locations and codes, as well as the code for the Lock, are always randomized.
* 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.

* Despite its icon, there are no brown ''Library Books'' in the game.
* ''Library Books'' can currently be found in five colors: blue, purple, green, tan, and red.
* 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.
* Collected books will show a portrait of the player who collected them next to its hint in multiplayer. This will not show up for the player who collected it.
* ''Library Books'' used to glow blue, but this was removed in the [[The Content Update|Content Update]].
* In Normal mode, there are a total of 8 books, however this number has very much been increased in [[2023 April Fools Event|Super Hard Mode]], along with the Solution paper.
* The animation that plays when collecting a ''Library Book'' is purely cosmetic. Unequipping the ''Library Book'' will still add the code. Likewise, a player can collect multiple ''Library Books'' at once, and all codes will be recorded.
