 “Strange halted its inward collapse. This was some truth it could use. So Strange focused its effort, and the effort of those still remaining within it, to create a new book, and thus write and rewrite reality. It hid this new book deep within itself, secreting new and terrible layers of reality around it like a dark pearl. That book, which no sentient save for Strange itself has read or understood fully, guided the new transformation of what was once the Strangevirus into something new. Something insidious, something hiding in plain sight, something subtle yet vast, simple and all-encompassing. Strangevirus became language. It became the Word.

 “When the magic mirror collapsed, and Strange was severed from the Mess, it lost any new visitors, any fresh sentients to terrorize or infect. Those who remained were trapped as the Virus fell inward and began to consume itself, in a torrent of self-loathing and malice. The planes and spaces within the warp folded in as well until there was nothing left but a single room, and the memory of having once been greater.

 I've read a lot of the books. Some are stories, some are poems, some are short but[Strangewarp-Books|invoke a specific feeling or vibe]. All of them are, for lack of a better word, unsettling. A sense of dread pervades them, lingering in the air after reading--but for some that might also be a thrill, I suppose. There's no indication of ''why'' the Library decided to build this collection, although recently it opened its doors with the seeming intent of getting more entities reading its texts.
-There's a filing system with a bunch of symbols, but even with the [[Strangewarp Library Filing System|legend]], the system is esoteric. It doesn't even seem to matter, as the books re-shelve themselves when nobody is looking. I've personally witnessed [Strangewarp-Librarian|The Librarian] tossing piles of books into the Foyer's endless void, a "useful shortcut past actually doing any work" , she claimed.

 The Librarian herself is an odd character, and I'm never sure what to make of her, on those few occasions I've run into her. She seems a bit mad, a bit grumpy, but somehow the personality quirks feel like a thin layer over something deeper going on. She also has the power to warp the Library around her to get wherever she wants to, something I have had a long time to envy, lost as I am.
