Great Big Library of Everything	comment	A library that contains practically any possible or conceivable information source known to man or some other intelligent/sapient species, if not a multitude of intelligent species. This labyrinthine library seems to be a natural breeding spot for MacGuffins and it has just about all of life's secrets and answers. The Great Big Book of Everything, Big Book of War, Reality-Writing Book, Portal Book, Tome of Eldritch Lore, and Chronoscopes along with other things can all be found here. Because of its wealth of knowledge, the library is a very valuable information resource for the main cast. It may be a Magical Library as well, which could go a long way into justifying its often unreal/absurd level of comprehensiveness. Often times this is guarded by a Magic Librarian or other force; in some cases, it may serve as the residence of a God of Knowledge. Sometimes there will be a struggle with another group trying to obtain the same information, sometimes in a physical fight, but just as often with a Battle of Wits. If you're lucky, you'll find what you need. If you're not, it may turn out to be a Blank Book all along. In many works, this setting is either very hard to get to, long forgotten, or rumoured to be a myth. In sci-fi and High Fantasy works, however, the library can be quite well publicized, and it's sometimes a big tourist destination. Please note that the library must not be split up into multiple smaller libraries but instead be a continuous entity. So you can have a huge connected library, but not a bunch of smaller branches. See also the Akashic Records, a mystical collection of all the knowledge in the universe, which may or may not be a physical entity.

It consists of multiple rather large rooms and an entire tower (that also doubles as a dungeon), and considering that Seath is the creator of sorcery, they're no doubt on rather dangerous subjects. One fan estimated that the tower/dungeon section of the Archives alone contains nearly 97,000 books, and that's barely half the Archives.

It's so huge that nobody has cataloged even a small fraction of it, and people wanting to use it for research often form multi-week expeditions to do so. These are people who can use search magic to speed things up and read several books at once, mind you. StrikerS uses the library to put Yuuno on a bus by appointing him as the Chief Librarian. At the age of 15. ViVid reveals that the more ancient, unsorted sections contain the original storage areas of the books themselves, requiring trained personnel to scour it first for hazards before declaring it safe for people to enter.

It looks notably big even by modern standards, let alone by the standards of 18th-century France (for which it might very well have every surviving book ever published up to that point based on its size).

The Archive is a magical repository of anything humanity has ever recorded or written down created as a safeguard against some sort of civilisation-destroying disaster, from the entirety of the internet to the financial documents of temples in ancient Thessalonika. It lives in the mind of a little girl named Ivy, who has access to all this information at a moment's notice. The main character at one point communicates with her by writing a message to her on a notepad, which immediately gets entered into the Archive for her to know and read.

Great Big Library of Everything / int_42ffb88e	comment	SCP Foundation: SCP-1986, a seemingly-infinite tunnel full of books that range from the slightly odd to extremely weird. The Serpent's Hand, a secret society opposed to the Foundation's practices, operates from an anomalous Library that contains almost every book ever written (along with a few that weren't). It exists "outside of normal space" but can be accessed through certain specific rituals performed in certain specific places. The Foundation aren't allowed in. SCP-4001 "Alexandria Eternal" is a library containing the life stories of every human being in history, and even before. The books can be edited to change reality around that person (such as changing gender, curing disease, or even expand lifespans indefinitely), and destroying the book causes the person to be Ret-Gone. The oldest books date back about 75 000 years, but the Foundation have discovered untold layers of ash beneath the floorboards. The library is also sentient, and can interact with its Watchers (various organizations throughout its history, most recently the Foundation) by writing in their books.

It has The Big Board that marks locations in the world where teams of librarians are retrieving more books. There is one character, Puppet, who has lived in the Archives for years. There are "bad neighborhoods" of shelves with no organization whatsoever. There are secret passages that access the Archives from the undercity that was buried hundreds or thousands of years ago.

Great Big Library of Everything / int_468bebb0	comment	The Discworld explains the phenomenon of L-Space, which can turn any collection of books into a Library of Babel, thusly: Knowledge = Power = Energy = Mass, which distorts time and space. "A good bookshop is just a genteel black hole that knows how to read." That said, it also has more specific examples. The library of Unseen University is a major "node" in L-Space owing to the sheer weight of accumulated knowledge distorting the space-time continuum. The library itself is pretty much a universe of its own where the library dome is always directly overhead no matter where you are, creatures such as the thesaurus lurk between the shelves, and lost research students have formed tribes in the stacks. The Library of Ephebe in Small Gods is clearly modeled on the real-life Library of Alexandria, i.e., a serious attempt to collect all known books in existence — with the added feature of an earthed copper roof in case one of the Disc's myriad deities takes issue with something in its collection. It seems large but otherwise normal until it is burning down and The Librarian pops in and out via L-Space to save some of the books. It gets rebuilt later with another library in Omnia acting as backup, but many works are irretrievably lost. Death's Library is a variation — every person's life story writes itself into a book somewhere on his shelves. As you go back, the histories are written on scrolls, then animal skins, then stone slabs... One character asks Death's daughter (adopted) what came before the slabs, because some people would "quite like to know". She replies that she didn't get that far, as she was running out of candles. Death also has a more straight version of this; in The Last Continent he is looking for information on the Discworld's version of Australia, XXXX. He walks into the library and asks for information on the dangerous animals, and is buried in books. He then changes the request to the non-dangerous ones, and one sheet of paper floats down, reading "some of the sheep."

And even she does not have clearance for everything in the library.

It is here that Prince Derek conducts his research into the cryptic clue left to him by the dying King William: "It's not as it seems." Derek has deduced that a chameleon creature, possibly a shape-shifter, slew King William and abducted Princess Odette. This proves to be correct, though Derek at one point misidentified the chameleon creature.

The library has appeared in several novels and was the starting point for Baldur's Gate. Out of the Abyss: The party ends up needing to return to the Underdark to visit one of these called Gravenhollow to solve the problem of a demon infestation. There, the players can learn about how the demons were summoned in the first place, and what can be done to stop them. While there, everyone inside the library is always under the effects of the Comprehend Languages spell, to make finding and communicating whatever they need easier. Planescape: Thoth's Library is said to hold every book that was ever written or that will ever be created.

When the protagonist heads to the Court's library to get information for her school essay, you'd expect it to be an imposing, spooky, silent, mazelike place — after all, the Court shown so far is a massive imposing castle with supernatural inhabitants and qualities. Turns out, the library — at least, the sections not devoted to science and technology — is a single flimsy bookshelf with useless books.

Great Big Library of Everything / int_9d34190a	comment	The Elder Scrolls: Apocrypha, the Daedric plane of Oblivion belonging to Hermaeus Mora, the Daedric Prince of Knowledge (with a particular specialty in knowledge of the Eldritch variety), is a massive Magical Library. It is said to contain all of the knowledge in the universe. You get a chance to visit it in Skyrim's Dragonborn expansion, where it contains every book in the game, from the mundane to the Skill Books to the Spell Books, though most are randomly distributed. It also contains special "Black Books", artifacts which exist both on Nirn (where they act as portals to Apocrypha) and on this plane (where can actually be read and give special knowledge). The Imperial Library is the largest library on Nirn itself. Housed in the Imperial City's White-Gold Tower (which also serves as the palace of the Emperor), it also houses all known Elder Scrolls. Both the library and the Elder Scrolls are maintained by the Cult of the Ancestor Moth, whose members are referred to as "Moth Priests", an order dedicated to Julianos, the Aedric Divine God of Wisdom and Logic. (An unsubscribed event occurred sometime in the 4th Era which caused all of the Elder Scrolls to vanish from the library. They are now found scattered throughout Tamriel, and the Moth Priests have been working to recover them.)

The library is maintained by Patchouli Knowledge, who spends her days locked up inside adding to the already-massive cache of knowledge — she's not just the librarian, but also the author of an unspecified proportion of the tomes in her library, and probably the overwhelming majority of the magic books in the library, given the esoteric rules for wizardry in the Touhou 'verse.

Great Big Library of Everything / int_bcadd7cb	comment	Warhammer 40,000 has plenty of planetary libraries and eldritch stores of information: The Black Library contains the collected knowledge of the entire Eldar race, but is hidden in the Webway and guarded by the greatest of the Harlequins' Solitaires. Only one human has visited it, but has sworn never to speak of what he found there, while the Arch-sorcerer Ahriman is obsessed with plundering its secrets for himself. The Imperium has thousands, ranging from Alexandria-sized to covering all the planets in a system. Unfortunately they seem to think cataloging things is a sin, and only tend to pop up in the background when they're being razed by Orks or captured by Chaos. Of particular note is the Adeptus Administratum offices on Holy Terra, where armies of robed scribes carefully record useless census data thousands of years out of date from worlds that don't exist anymore, then file the reports away in the kilometre-high stacks where they will never be read again. Meanwhile the Adeptus Mechanicus never deletes anything and stores the majority of the Imperium's scientific talent. The Hidden Library of Tzeentch is even larger than the Black Library and contains every single scrap of knowledge, every thought of every creature across space and time, and is where Tzeentch himself concocts his eternal plots. The Solemnance Archive, being a Necron record, has been expanding for the last hundred million years as its undead robot master, Trazyn the Infinite, adds new objects to his 'collection'. Such curios include the preserved head of an Imperial hero and entire armies of soldiers held in temporal stasis to form dioramas of historical conflicts.

Great Big Library of Everything / int_bd618e73	comment	The library of St. Marguerite Academy, in Gosick, is known for its vast amount of books and labyrinthine staircases. A great deal of humor derives from the fact that Kujo has to climb the stairs to reach the greenhouse at the top level, while Victorique has the privilege to use the elevator. The library is also a prolific source of urban legends among St. Marguerite Academy students. It is said that a golden fairy inhabits the top floor, and that those who step on the thirteenth step of the stairway would be cursed.

The TARDIS has been hinted to have an impressive library of its own, which is finally seen properly in the episode "Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS". "The Inforarium" features yet another, this one involved in the business of selling information, and rather shadier than the Library above. "Extremis": The Haereticum, the Vatican's secret library of blasphemy, is at least five stories tall and filled with at least a thousand years' worth of the world's most dangerous literature.

Great Big Library of Everything / int_c62995ba	comment	Child of the Storm has a number of examples owing to the collection of canons: The Hogwarts library, which is a very extensive magical library in a building that's Bigger on the Inside — though still on the milder end of this trope. Asgard's libraries date back over a million years, and quite possibly well before that, since Asgard's civilisation is ancient — they've been gods for over a million years, ruled a galaxy spanning empire for a million or two before that, and only "probably" evolved after the dinosaurs went extinct. Doctor Strange's library is hinted to be the most impressive, since as an immortal in the region of 500,000 years old, a frequent abuser of Time Travel, a notorious pack-rat, and a habitual thief capable of stealing the Tesseract from Asgard's highest security vaults whenever he feels like it, he's accumulated an extremely extensive library. It's also implied to be a more conventional armoury. The Archive, as per The Dresden Files, is an example in the form of a young girl who has magical software in her head that records everything written down, ever. Strange is also implied to be responsible for that software, as the ultimate back-up drive for civilisation.

It's actually very well-organized ... but the sheer scale of its contents can make a search take days without assistance. Most of it is accessible to all seekers, but there's also a "special collection" that only the Archangels can enter, which includes tomes deemed too dangerous for even the most stalwart angels to read — for instance, a manifesto written by Lucifer to justify his rebellion. Kronos' Archive in Hell is a dark mockery of Yves' Library in the form of a comprehensive and thorough store of every tome on demonology ever penned, alongside the records and bookkeeping of Hell itself and histories of the War and treatises on the universe written from the demons' point of view.

The planet was the home to massive data troves â€“ a planet-spanning repository of all the knowledge from around the universe, encoded into the very DNA structure of the planet's massive eliim trees. After Codex was darkened and the Eldrid re-settled on their ancient homeworld of Ekkunar, they tried restoring what they lost via The Codex Regrowth. The Codex Regrowth is a testament to the Eldrid's determination to gain knowledge and preserve the natural order of the universe. There, the Eldrid have re-planted several seed-pods from the planet Codex in an attempt to re-grow the massive eliim trees and recover some of their lost knowledge troves. This grove is the setting of The Archive mission.

The show takes place in the Annex, a (for budgetary reasons) smaller area but still connected to the main library. The Library is so big it's said to have to exist in a pocket dimension. This becomes a plot point when a villain's plot involves destroying the artifact keeping it there, which would destroy both the Library and the world if the two were forced to coexist.
