>mfw I absent-mindedly forgot it doesn't exist anymore.

Anyway, how much knowledge was actually lost in the library's destruction? Were all the books in there were reprinted copies of earlier manuscripts or were there a lot of original works lost as well?

Knowing Twilight, she definitely had some first editions and old af books

>>29389651
So not an Alexandria- or Baghdad-tier loss, but more akin to burning down a small university library.

>>29389700
Ponyville is just some hick town. Of course it's not going to be akin to the destruction of, say, the Canterlot library. The Starswirl wing alone is probably a treasure trove of irreplaceable pony knowledge.

Although many works of antiquity pertaining to magic and apocrypha were destroyed we know she was also an avid collector of the more esoteric volumes of current events. Among those which were spared destruction owing to prior thievery include:
The Secret History of the Jesuits by Edmond Paris
The Eighth Tower by John Keel
The original 4 volume publication of Anthony Sutton's 'The Order' series as well as his Two Faces of George Bush
The Empire of 'The City' by EC Knuth
Treason's Peace by Harold Watson Ambruster
The Covert War Against Rock by Alex Constantine
Operation Mind Control by Walter Bowart
The Hand of Death by John Call
At least 3 volumes of the 'Why Did You Kill Your President?' series by Kyril Goranoff
How to Read Donald Duck by Ariel Dorfman and Armand Mattelart
Alternative 003 by Leslie Watkins
Secret Nazi Polar Expeditions by Ernst Zundel
The Secret Life of Ronald Reagan by Donald Freed and Larry Flynt
UN Concentration Camp Program in America Vol 1 by Serge Monast
and The World Power Foundation It's Platform and Goals
All original hardcover/paperback editions, many signed or inscribed by their respective authors.

Same.

I can't believe they forced that fucking castle playset bullshit into the show.

I read some of them. Freaky stuff. Excellent for fiction. Good fiction must be based in truth, I have to say.

>those candles and flowers on the left side
That makes me wonder how having that scorched husk of a tree left there felt for the other ponies in Ponyville.
Surely some of them had to like that library too. I guess Twilight's castle took the role of the new public library too, but I'd think they liked the nice small space Golden Oaks had.

>>29390049
it sucks cause I think they could've written it out differently. just have her fucking move to a new castle and keep the library as a landmark/deus-ex-machina vault instead of teleporting to it in the middle of a fight and blowing it the fuck up.

She has a library 20 times bigger back at cancerlot
Wathever she lost in there is like accidentally deleting everything in your companions inventory in a Bethesda game and then replacing it with slightly more valuable shit an hour later

>>29392256
>>29392264
Twilight now has her fuckhuge crystal castle library. That'd be pretty sweet to visit. Kind of a pristine, eldritch-y feel to it.

I feel like the only one who likes the new castle more than the tree house.

>>29392733
I don't understand why's likable about the castle. It's a literal BUY OUR TOYS prop, and it's cold and way too big.
It says "I'm a princess and this is serious bzns"

The Treebrary is comfy and warm like a home should be. It screams Twilight Sparkle to me.

Makes you appreciate the monks.

What happened with the secret passage under the library which was led to the creepy chamber holding the daemonic book?
Were there more nasty stuff under the library?

>>29392256
She probably set one up in the castle
Besides you are a strange foreign visitor they would probably let you into the royal canterlot library (probably not the starswirl wing though)
