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, Sam_Argos created a building design based loosely on the Amsterdam Library for the space allotted at the end of Havana's promenade, which was built in Survival 2 by the end of the month. It featured three stories, a basement for book processing, and fit snugly into the surrounding builds.

Literature

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