The Havana Library was a major cultural building, located in the City of Havana. It was built to house all player written books in the Survival 2 world and allow public access to them. The library was run by librarians _edo, marbou9, and Sam_Argos.

Building

A library had been thought of during the initial conceptualization of Havana. In January 2018, 20.png Sam_Argos created a building design based loosely on the Amsterdam Library for the space allotted at the end of Havana's promenade. Their concept was built in Survival 2 by the end of the that same month by 20.png _edo. It featured three stories plus a basement for book processing and fit snugly into the surrounding builds.

Books were sorted into categories and displayed in various parts of the building.
