Library

The library is a room located in Arendelle castle that contains a collection of books.

History

The knowledge contained in the library proved useful during Agdar's reign; following an incident in which Anna was injured by Elsa's magic, Agdar searched through the library shelves and found a book containing a map that provided directions to the Valley of the Living Rock, where he hoped Anna could be healed. Though Anna was restored to health, the accident led to her being separated from Elsa. During the thirteen year period of separation, Anna went to the library to help pass the time.

On the day of Elsa's coronation, the library was a place of solitude for the soon-to-be-queen; while she practiced concealing her powers for the ceremony, Elsa looked to a portrait of her father during at his own coronation in an attempt to ease her anxiety.

However, the library was not always a place of such solace; during Elsa's winter, Hans trapped Anna inside the room leaving her to freeze to death. Though Olaf managed to find Anna and kept her warm by starting a fire, the room was slowly overtaken by ice forming from Elsa's magic, which threatened to trap the pair within.

Description

The library is a spacious room lit by natural light coming from a window that overlooks the courtyard. The window has maroon curtains a bench seat underneath it. The room contains tall bookcases lining the walls, as well as a table with a few ornaments, most notably a candlestick and a clock. Above the table is a portrait depicting Agdar holding the orb and scepter at his coronation. Across from the painting is a triangular stain-glass window and a table with a model ship placed upon it. There is also a grandfather clock in the room with a broad snowflake carving in the center of its pendulum.

In the center of the room, there is a maroon-red carpet with a black border. A few chairs are on the carpet, as well as a small sofa and a table with a chess set. There is also a teal vase with purple flowers on one of the tables next to one of the chairs. The library also has a heat source in the form of a fireplace, along with the materials necessary to light and maintain a fire to its side. At the corner near the room's entrance is a table with an armillary sphere resting upon it.

Trivia

• The clock that Anna placed her feet upon was removed from the library at some point during the castle's thirteen year isolation.
