I bet theres an entire shelf describing Queen Elizabeth's life.

The best part of this SCP that wasn't covered was that the foundation used two drones to look for books as it was easier than sending a human to manually search them. The library liked them so much that it made two books from the drones and called them "Honorary Librarians." The library have them a soul :)

[@ForgottenRussian]

i’m surprised nobody has written “then i defeated scp-682”

[@PatheonPrime]

So couldn’t they technically write dangerous scp’s out of existence

[@Deidara525]

Honestly, this place sounds amazing, not because of being able to edit the books, but just being able to read them. Imagine the mysteries that could be solved, how much we could learn about the course of human development. It seems like a dream.

[@magoichi75]

The very notion that a mere man could rewrite history with just a few scribbles that could effect the untold billions of past and present. I can see why the security is at its maximum level

[@ArcanineEspeon]

A smile slowly came over my face as I realized that, at least in one universe, maybe the Library of Alexandria wasn't completely destroyed after all.

[@nick32145]

What about the missed the part where they created robot librarians to watch over Alexandria eternal, eventually earning their own books after their tireless service?

[@ComicalRealm]

All good stories start with "let's crack open some D-class"

[@youreverydayace9768]

This would actually be really fun! Imagine opening a book of an infant who had just been born and watching as the pages started to be filled.

[@filkoske6139]

Imagine causing an XK-Class End Of The World Scenario because you brought the wrong colored pen

[@maiquanghuy8807]

"This site is for SCP personnel with O5 approval"

[@envo9059]

"The D-Class then began to shed all of his hair, and within two minutes he was completely bald"

The Book of Life: Let us have a think tank at the coffee house.

[@privatename5788]

Lots of passive uses for this sort of thing. It can be used to solve mysteries concerning people. It can be used to check the loyalty of Foundation employees. It can be used to compile an accurate version of historical events.

[@WooHooLadttv]

Couldn't you just write "d class came back to life and was in the same physical and mental consisting they were 30 minutes ago"

[@gozfanai]

I have the approval. Let me in.

[@dayhel2367]

“And [insert name] was suddenly bestowed with the knowledge and the capacity to know all the secrets of the library”. Couldn’t they write that? I have legitemately wanted to make a fiction about something like this for a while tho so it’s neat it already exists.

[@XxXShevampXxX]

I think this might be one of my favorites. I could daydream about a library like this all day long.
