The Haunted Library is located in Spookyraven Manor, an area that takes the place of The Haunted Pantry on the Right Side of the Tracks

If you try to enter before unlocking it, you will get the message:

You try to enter the Haunted Library, but the door is locked. I guess this particular information doesn't want to be free.

To unlock the library, you must first find the Spookyraven library key. Once you have entered, be sure to browse the stacks – the library has books catering to every... taste.

A primary stat of 20 is suggested. If your main stat isn't high enough, you'll see the following message:

As you get near the library, you start thinking about all of the times you've been hurt because of libraries. Like the time that librarian broke your knees because you couldn't pay your overdue book fines, and the time that you tripped over a drawer that had been left open in the card catalog and got a black eye.

Maybe you should come back when you're a little tougher, so that you don't get hurt again.

(It is recommended that you have at least 20 <mainstat> to adventure here.)

Notes

• All parts to the scroll of ancient forbidden unspeakable evil drop in this zone, and given the high value of it to other players, makes this an excellent place to farm.
