A library is a community lot and lot assignment in The Sims 3 and The Sims 4 that allows Sims to read books, but not to bring them home.

The Sims 3

Every single book in the home world is here, with the exception of recipes, bait guides, guitar compositions, and books from every destination. If a player gets their Sim to write a novel, when it is completed it will often appear in the library. This may not apply to flops. [confirmation needed]

Libraries attract Sims with the Genius[confirmation needed] and Bookworm traits. They have lots of bookshelves, and usually have computers where Sims can practice the Writing skill. Sims with a writing skill of 3 or greater will receive an opportunity to donate books they have written to city hall, which will make them available in libraries.

As a lot assignment, libraries provide Power Study moodlet:

Libraries generate the following dark blue map tag in-game:

The Sims 4

Libraries return in The Sims 4. They are a great location for Sims to play chess, use the computers and of course, read books. Sims with the Genius trait will sometimes want to go to the library.

Trivia

  • There is no proper library in Aurora Skies. Instead, there's a community lot Lend and Learn Library, but it's assigned as No Visitors Allowed. It's probably a mistake by the developers.
  • The library in Sims University is a shell building. Even though there appears to be many doors on the building, only one is a valid entrance to the shell.
  • The library of Twinbrook seems to be missing skill books.
