The Library of Alexandria was once the greatest repository of knowledge in the Ancient World. It was founded during the reign of Ptolemy II of Egypt at some point in the third century BCE, and was patronised by many famous ancient scholars including Plato and Demetrius of Phaleron, whose Hall Lara later enters. The famous destruction of the Library is considered to have been committed either by the Romans from 48BCE by Julius Caeser to 391CE by the Emperor Theodosius or by Muslim invaders at some point in the seventh century CE.
The part of the Library that Lara visits is essentially a large hall with two stories of doors and balconies running round it. At the opposite side from where Lara enters are the doors of the Hall of Demetrius - this is your goal. The smaller doors lead to rooms where you can see some of the fantastical projects that the Library's inhabitants left unfinished. The Library of Alexandria might well have been much larger than the level in the game, and indeed does not appear to contain many books, focusing instead on mechanics, astronomy, mathematics, sorcery and music.
There are 3 secrets hidden in the Library.
