Line 46 ⟶ 50:
* In ''[[Touhou]]'', there's Voile, the Magical Library, maintained by [[Badass Bookworm|Patchouli Knowledge]], who spends her days locked up inside adding to the already-massive cache of knowledge and [[Spell Book]]s. While 100 straight years of this this have [[Squishy Wizard|given her anemia, asthma, and Vitamin A deficiency]], you are more than likely to find anything you could ever want in there ([[Kleptomaniac Hero|Marisa]] sure does).
* According to ''[[Elder Scrolls]]'' lore, the [[Our Demons Are Different|Daedra Prince]] of prophecy and fate, Hermaeus Mora, lives on a plane of Oblivion called Apocrypha, an infinite library full of [[Tomes of Eldritch Lore]].
* ''[[Final Fantasy]]'':
** ''[[Final Fantasy V]]'' gives us the Library of the Ancients, where there are possessed books, a book split in two by the splitting of the worlds, and a book that burns other books... It also serves as an inspiration for many of the later examples listed here.
** ''[[Final Fantasy VIII]]'' has a minor example in the Balamb Garden library, a mundane which has a single-use draw point for the Esuna spell.
** ''[[Final Fantasy IX]]'' has another minor, mundane example in the Alexandria Castle library, where the [[Skippable Boss|optional boss]] Tantarian can be fought; some elements of its design are based on the possessed book enemies from ''Final Fantasy V''.
** ''[[Final Fantasy XIV]]'': The ''Heavensward'' expansion has The Great Gubal Library, the last leveling dungeon in ''Heavensward'' and an explicit throwback to ''Final Fantasy V''. Several "living tomes" are among the enemies fought here, including a boss named Byblos.
** In ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Echoes of Time]]'', the library is run by Larkeicus - the lobby contains several enemies, and a portal can be found later that leads to various locations containing monsters from ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: Ring of Fates]]''. {{spoiler|Larkecius later attacks the hero when they return to the library in search of information on the Crystal Core shards, and is later revealed to be the [[Big Bad]].}}
** In ''[[Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: The Crystal Bearers]]'', the Royal Library is located in the capital city of Alfitaria, and contains a Miasma Stream inside.
* The Library in ''[[Myst]]''. Or rather, it ''used'' to be one: {{spoiler|it held Atrus' journals, Linking Books, Descriptive Books, and the various Ages, which were worlds created by writing them into existence. However, his two greedy sons turned against him and burned most of the books, with only a small handful of journals and Books surviving to the time of the game}}.
