The Library could only be entered by presenting a “[[Library Card]]” that was actually a “particularly strong narrative”, or part of one, that was as yet unrecorded in the Library. These helped sustain the physical existence of the [[Librarian]]s, who were projections of popular fictional characters. The Library filtered guests' experience to make sure they did not encounter Librarians based on people who were real in their universe, fictional as they might be elsewhere in the Multiverse. | The Library could only be entered by presenting a “[[Library Card]]” that was actually a “particularly strong narrative”, or part of one, that was as yet unrecorded in the Library.

The Librarians' personalities reflected their fictional counterparts, but they had an instinctive knowledge of the Library and where various books or reading rooms might be found, being compelled to act as helpful guides to visitors. Indeed, they were aware of their nature as reconstructions of fictional characters. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Century Smith and the Time Terror (short story)|Century Smith and the Time Terror]]'') | ||
