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

=={{Icons|Overview}} Overview==
Found only in [[The Library]], ''Library Books'' are vibrantly-colored books that contain a shape and number inside of them. These same shapes can appear on the [[Solution Paper]]. Understanding a combination of numbers and symbols from the ''Library Books'' and the Solution Paper will allow players to solve the [[Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]]. 

''Library Books'' are usually found surrounded by other, unreadable books in The Library. ''Library Books'' will emit a faint "shiny" sound, and are highlighted by [[Guiding Light]]. Compared to the other books, the colors ''Library Books'' are found in (blue, purple, green, tan, and red) are more vibrant, and they are usually situated at a slight angle. These factors make them easier to find.

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

=== Notes===

* ''Library Books'' emit a faint "shiny" sound, similar to the sound [[Room Key|room keys]] make. So long as players have their volume turned up, this quality 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. This is also true in [[2023 April Fools Event|Super Hard Mode]].
**In regular gameplay, there are a total of 8 ''Library Books''. However, in Super Hard Mode, 15 ''Library Books'' must be found, and 10 of them will be required to complete the [[Hotel#Library Puzzle|Library Puzzle]].
*"Reading" a ''Library Book'' does not make noise, and will not attract [[Figure]].
*Each ''Library Book'' players collect will increase Figure's walking speed by 0.75x. Figure cannot be outrun after 3-4 ''Library Books'' have been collected, and it is nearly impossible to escape once all eight ''Library Books'' have been collected.
* The ''Library Book'''<nowiki/>''s'' symbols and numbers are always randomized.
*After players hav<nowiki/>e been in The Library for roughly three minutes, [[Guiding Light]] will intensify the light and particles around the books, which makes them easier to find.
*Collected books w<nowiki/>ill show a portrait of the player who collected them next to its symbol in multiplayer. The player portrait is not present on the screen of the player who collected it.
*Unequipping a ''Lib''<nowiki/>''rary 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.
