Phatt City Library

The Phatt Island Library is located at the Wharf on Phatt Island. It is run by a single Librarian.

Books are organised in an extensive card catalogue.

Guybrush Threepwood used the Library to get a temporary Library Card with which to prove his age to buy alcohol. He also needed to take out a number of books. The library is known to have steep overdue fines.

There is also a miniature display of the planned lighthouse.

For the most books, Guybrush will give a generic comment that the book is useless. T marks the books that Guybrush complains that they are too technical. Dash symbol – marks the few books that Guybrush doesn't comment at all.

Trivia[]

The Library is a visitable location in "MI2 Lite" although it is not required to visit in order to finish the game; Guybrush can optionally return the book about Big Whoop, register a Library Card and browse the books, but nothing of these affects the puzzles. The Library Card is required in order to complete the spitting challenge as ID is needed to get grog.
