Oldest Library is the library located at the tenth floor of the Great Tomb of Nazarick.

Background
Most of the books in the library of the Great Tomb of Nazarick are mostly summoning books. But in reality, there is no need to acquire so many of such books, as using every single resource from Nazarick, it is still cannot summon about one tenth of the amount of monsters. Thus, the reasons for gathering so many books was to acquire books that do not need to pay a price and also to hide important magic items by blending them among the ordinary ones.

There are three major corners in the library. The areas are the corner of wisdom, the corner of knowledge and the corner of magic.

The books in the library can be mainly put into five categories:


 * The first type contains a book collection of recorded monster data, which was required to summon said monsters such as mercenaries. There were three types of monsters inside Nazarick. The first type consisted of monsters that were created in a similar manner as player characters. The next type consisted of automatically spawning monsters that were under level thirty, and the last type consisted of monsters that were summoned as mercenaries. Mercenary monsters needed to be summoned using a book, a special summoning ritual and adequate amount of gold. Thus, they could not be summoned without a book.


 * The second type contains magic items, which certain data crystals could only be imbued into a book-shaped object. Items shaped like books usually tended to be single use magic items. The difference between a scroll and a book was that while scrolls could only be used by certain classes, anybody could use a book.


 * The third type contains event item books, these can be items required for class change, items for race change, learning new magic and books studying about skills, legends.


 * The fourth type contains books about equipment, these can be books with information about swords, shields, helmets, smelting and materials required to make these equipment.


 * The fifth type contains literature books, these can be books about classic literature of the previous world, stories using YGGDRASIL as background, stories made by players, game attack diaries, and stories about the second creation of the game.
