Library

Libraries are rooms that must be opened with a key. Items from the Library item pool can be found within, among other things, such as Cards and/or Runes or even enemies. Libraries have a 5% chance of appearing each floor.

Layouts[]

The following room maps were made using Basement Renovator for cleaner viewing. Items generated in these rooms pull from the Library item pool. All rooms have the same weight of 1.0

Notes[]

From the outside, the library is identical in appearance to the Shop. One of the ways they can be distinguished is if Isaac has a mapping item such as Spelunker Hat or The Compass. Generally, the library will be closer to the starting room than the Shop.
- The library now has its own unique door.
Once all items in the Library item pool have been picked up, items from the Treasure Room item pool will appear instead.
Libraries are particularly useful for acquiring the Bookworm transformation.
NO! now replaces all activated items inside the Library with passive items, which prevents all Library items from appearing other than Book of Virtues.
