'''The Library''' is the seventh [[campaign]] level in ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved]]''. It begins after [[343 Guilty Spark]] teleports [[John-117]] from the swamp he was in to the [[Library]] of [[Installation 04]]. The Master Chief must battle through four [[Flood]]-filled levels to reach the [[Activation Index|Index]] chamber.

''The view flies through the main central chamber of the Installation, through a rotating doorway, to find 343 Guilty Spark and the Master Chief teleporting in.''

''The Chief goes into the first hallway of the third floor.''

''The Chief comes into another hallway, but this time it's large, open, cavernous.''

''The Chief enters another hallway.''

''The Chief enters the first hallway of the fourth floor.''

''The Chief clears the route to the Index platform, fending off several remaining Flood forms. He reaches the platform.''

''The platform's bottom ledges interlock with the ridges below, and it finally comes to a halt.''

*'''343 Guilty Spark''': "You may now retrieve the Index."

''The Chief walks slowly over to the Index, which is held in a protective sheath. The sheath unlocks itself as its sections move outwards before the Index itself pops slightly out of the top of the sheath. The Chief removes it and stares at it for a moment before 343 Guilty Spark zaps it from the Chief's hands and into some sort of trans-dimensional storage chamber inside the Monitor's body.''

''Spark and the Chief teleport away from the platform.''

''Level ends.''

==Trivia==

*If the player has an [[Overshield]], it is possible to launch him/herself onto the Activation Index. The player can fall to the bottom of the place right below this post and survive.

*On the second elevator ride, if the player get high enough, jump off and get under it, the player can make their way to the center of the chamber and jump into the pit. There a spinning Forerunner [[Monitor]], 343 Guilty Spark, can be seen. Oddly enough, the player can also do this while 343 Guilty Spark is supposedly on another part of the level at the time.

*In ''[[Halo: Combat Evolved Anniversary]]'', there is an error in the geometry of the remastered graphics on the top floor, with the yellow lighting. One specific part of the floor features a dead-end corridor with a health pack with two pillars sticking up, a common sight in the level. But the remastered graphics in this instance places a flat wall texture across at the part of the corridor where the pillars begin. This means the player can walk between the pillars and through the "wall" into what appears to be empty space, where they can see behind the walls of the level.

===Miscellaneous===

*In the Korean version of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'', this level is named as "''Finding the Index''".{{citation_needed}}

*The blue-lighted windows seen throughout the level are rumored to be used to access the data archived by the [[Librarian]] although this has never been seen in any of the games thus far. In addition, they are described as "glowing blue monitors" in ''Halo: The Flood''.

*Whenever Sentinels are deployed to escort the Monitor, they only follow him until they reach certain landmarks such as the series of pillar-like braces occasionally found in the middle of corridors. There is a possibility that the braces are actually devices used to mark the areas where Sentinels which are permitted to occupy. Another theory could be that the braces found in areas serve as signs that the Sentinels found within the Library are not allowed to wander outside of certain perimeters.

*In the Anniversary version of the level there is a small portion of the previously mentioned brace-like structures that can be broken off by means of grenade explosions.
