The library is one of the special locations in Baldi's Basics Plus.

Description

The library is a large room with many bookshelves and a circular table with a globe and a computer on it.

Prior to V0.4, the library was completely different. It resembled a labyrinth maze with book holders of assorted books as thin walls, with a large area in the center. Additionally, the room appeared to be empty. There are also different variations with distinct features about it. Some structures like lockers were able to spawn here. It also can make the player easily lost unless using a map.

Overview

Main gameplay

All sounds, music, and voices will have an echo effect once the player enters it, then they will not be heard afterwards. Captions are not present here either. Opening any swinging door connected to the library will not make a sound and therefore does not directly attract Baldi, unless the player is in his line of sight.

If NPCs are in the library, their sound will not be heard in any location until they leave the library.

Sometimes, classrooms or faculty rooms can connect to the library. Unlike the swinging doors, Baldi or Dr. Reflex can hear the door to these rooms.

A vending machine in the library.

Rarely, vending machines, storage lockers, vents, water fountains, buttons, windows, pay phone and posters can be found in libraries.

When Baldi is in this room, his slapping sound will also not be heard, similar to the broken ruler event. No jumpscare sound is heard when Baldi catches the player.

The library cannot appear in Floor 1.

Trivia

General

• The library was first mentioned in the Kickstarter campaign description.

Baldi's Basics Plus

• Hiding in a blue locker in the library does not alert Baldi, even without using WD-NoSquee.
• If an Alarm Clock rings in the library, it will not lure Baldi to it.
• Even if Baldi is in the library, he can hear any sound from outside of the library.
• If the player enters a room connected to the library, they could still hear sounds.
• Prior to V0.4, the library had a few differences (aside from its appearance):
  • There was typically at least one dark area.
  • There was no smooth transition from audio to silence.
  • There were a few items, such as WD-NoSquee, Safety Scissors, and the Faculty Nametag at some dead ends.
  • It was one of two special rooms where tiles were revealed separately on the map (not counting the large central area) with the other being Gotta Sweep's closet.
    • However, in the current version, the variant with four entrances is revealed separately unlike other variants.
  • The texture of the bookshelf was rescaled in this game.
  • The library rarely may have had classrooms or Gotta Sweep's closet connected to it.
• Prior to V0.6.1, the player could hear sounds made by NPCs or any object in the library.

Baldi's Basics Kickstarter Exclusive Demo

• Prior to V1.2, the library's map color was black. It was changed to white for it to be visible on the advanced map's black background.
  • In Baldi's Basics Plus, the debug room used the black color on the map.

Glitches

• Prior to V0.4, the player's controller vibrated when inside the library, even when "Rumble" wasn't enabled.
• Prior to V0.4, a door located next to a library would not alert Baldi when opening it.
  • Similarly, the Alarm Clock placed in any room would not attract Baldi after it rang, if it was placed next to the door connected to the library.
• In V0.4, the library was the only special location in floor 3.
