The Library is a collection of Texts introduced in Season 18, accessible under the League tab on Blaseball.com. It details events occuring before The Return alongside retellings of events from The Discipline Era. Each Volume is divided into various Chapters displaying information through The Feed, much of which is cryptic, redacted, and incomplete. The Library is supervised by the League Historian, Lōotcrates.
History
Introduction
The Library was first seen in the Season 17 Election Ballot as one of six possible Decrees, and was described as with the line "Reveal the Ancient Histories of Blaseball". During the Season 17 Election, it won alongside Smithy and Fairgrounds:
- Library passed with 5,052,306 Votes, 56% of all Decree Votes
- IN THE STACKS
RECORDS SET
SECRETS SPILLED
TALES SPUN
YOU WILL REMEMBER BEFORE
- IN THE STACKS
Following this, Lōotcrates spoke on the outcome of the Election:
"The Stacks Remember
Prized Fights in the Midway
Keepsakes Reforged."
"Unboxings."
"Grand Openings."
The Library was then introduced in Season 18, where the only Chapter available was The First Day, 1st Edition under Pre-History I. Over the following Seasons, more Chapters were revealed at unpredictable intervals. Additionally, if an entry relating to a previously unknown Team — such as the Alaskan Immortals — was revealed, that Team would be then revealed where it was previously hidden. This lead to the introduction of a tab page under the Hall of Flame page, where deceased Teams discovered within the Library could be viewed. Additonally, once a Team was discovered in the Library, their Players would become available in Blaseball.com's search bar.

See the main article on this topic: Library/Pre-History I
Pre-History I contains 20 Chapter, 6 of which are locked. It was first made accessible during Season 18 on May 10, 2021, after The First Day, 1st Edition was unlocked. It details Blaseball's first known League, Ultra League Blaseball, which would go on to become Internet League Blaseball. In particular, it focuses on Players Parker MacMillan, Megan Ito, and New Megan Ito. During Pre-History I, Parker MacMillan would become Hexed with the Firewalker Modification,[1] inflict Instability across the league (moving through the Super Roamin' Modification),[2] and eventually be contained by the Mallorca Whales using The Force Field.[2] Following this, Trader and Traitor Megan Ito freed Parker by trading their Metaphorical Sunglasses for Parker's Force Field, indirectly leading to Megan's incineration when Parker left their Team, the Minneapolis Truckers, Unstable. When The Force Field prevented Megan from entering the Hall of Flame after this, they became caught in a state of Superposition between life and death, eventually resulting in them echoing into Static and being replaced by New Megan Ito.[3] Ultimately, Parker would go on to become Legendary through unknown means, leaving the League to enter The Vault, and therefore making every Team Unstable. This resulted in an early snap Election where the Reset Decree was passed, ending Pre-History I.[4] Additonally, Pre-History I also saw the first mention of Namerifeht.[5]
