Libraries in Interactive Fiction

• 

  Augmented Fourth (2000)

  > x library (@ Library Lane)

  Surprisingly, this building is made out of regular brick. There are no windows, but skylights dot the roof every twenty feet or so. The front door is of a swinging variety, without a latch.

• Beneath: a Transformation (2007)

  > x library (@ Library Steps)

  The library is, by far, the oldest building in town, and also one of the largest.

• The Chinese Room (2007)

  > x library (@ Square)

  It has two pillars. That's about it, really. Maybe if you come back tomorrow there might be one more, or one less, but until then: two pillars.

• 

  Cragne Manor (2018)

  > x library (@ Outside the Library)

  Neoclassical columns frame a grand entrance. A wheelchair ramp has been constructed beside the steps.

• Dawn of the Demon (2005)

  > x library (@ Outside the Pheebor Public Library)

  The Pheebor Public Library is a very proud and acedemic-looking structure with massive stone columns lining the facade. The heavy oak double doors are propped open, inviting you to enter.

• 

  Grooverland (2021)

  > x library (@ Sugar Plum Snack Bar)

  To be honest, you have no idea how this is structurally stable.

• Hero, Inc Part 1: Calling All Heroes (1997)

  > x library (@ Outside Fairhaven Library)

  It's right here.

  From the Post Office Park: It's somewhere in the distance.

  > x library (@ Alabaza Plaza)

  The Great Library of Alabaz is a tall, stately, brick building standing on the east side of the plaza.

• Nowheresville (2022)

  > x library (@ Second Avenue West)

  To the north is a rectangular brick building with a flat roof. Lettering on the building reads "LIBRARY".

• The Planet of the Infinite Minds (2000)

  > x library (@ The End of Time)

  It looks just like the library where you work.

• 

  Return to Ditch Day (2004)

  > x library (@ Millikan Pondy)

  The black, windowless face of the library rises up from the west end of the pool to a height of nine stories, towering over everything else nearby. The entrance is to the west.
