The Library, exterior
The Library is a building in Trolberg that Hilda, Frida, and David frequently visit when they need information.
It is most prominently featured in the animated series.
History[]
According to "Hilda's World: A guide to Trolberg, the wilderness, and beyond", the library is one of the oldest buildings in Trolberg, but accounts of when, why and how it was build are scarce. There are even rumors that the building spontaneously sprang up one day, as if conjured by magic. Considering the library is connected to Witches Tower and is run by a witch, this story may actually be true.
Appearance[]
Animated series[]
The library has two floors, both of them filled with dozens of cabinets with books about every conceivable subject. In the center, there is a large open section with a ceiling window.
On the second floor is a hidden entrance behind a bookcase, that leads to a secret room filled with spell books. Hilda discovered this room in "Chapter 8: The Tide Mice". In "Chapter 3: The Witch", this secret room turned out to be the first in a series of secret rooms and passages that eventually lead to Witches Tower.
The library is supervised by The Librarian.
Graphic novels[]
The library is also briefly seen in the graphic novel "Hilda and the Black Hound", but it looks notably different there than in the animated series. In "Hilda and the Stone Forest", one panel shows Hilda and Frida in the library, summoning a spirit from a book. This implies the Library in the graphic novels also has the secret room with magic books.
Known books[]
Some of the books at the library are:
- Ghost Summoning Book
- Edmund ‘The Troll Slayer’ Ahlberg: An Unauthorized Biography
- How To Get Rid Of Ghosts
- How to Aid and Keep Thy Friends Forever
- Tales of the Marra
