Playing With / Great Big Library of Everything

Go To

Basic Trope: A giant library that has essentially every informational source that can be found.

  • Straight: The Magna Bibliotheca contains all information ever collected by humanity.
  • Exaggerated: The Magna Bibliotheca contains all information about the entire universe, known or unknown to humanity, in book form.
  • Downplayed: The Magna Bibliotheca doesn't contain everything, but it does contain everything relevant to the story.
  • Justified:
  • Subverted: The library is supposed to contain everything, but doesn't for some reason.
  • Parodied: The library contains all known information, but still functions like a normal library, with late-return fees, wildly outdated computer systems, etc.
