Infinite Library is an area accessible by sleeping in the bed with the music box playing in the bedroom of Cotton Candy Haven.
Features
True to its name, this area consists of a dark, unending series of corridors. As you explore the library, a green book sometimes shows up sticking out of the shelves. Reading the book for the first time will trigger a cutscene in the Library showing that the book has been placed in one of the shelves of the lower section. Other elements randomly show up, such as a telephone that you can interact with, a telescope next to a table, and a ladder to the attic against a bookcase. The dark attic has a table with an empty book alongside a telescope, where interacting with the former will show its contents, and interacting with the latter will show a view of the starry skies. Taking a glance at the comet will lead you to Erratic Pillar Lands. There is also a ladder to the rafters of the attic, which will lead to an empty room to the left and a window that can be hopped through to the right.
Finding the exit to Static Noise Hell can be determined by the volume at which the music box plays. As you navigate through the library, the music starts to weaken, signifying how close Urotsuki is to the exit. Exploring when the music is weak enough will eventually trigger a distorted radio noise, and going forward will lead to a staircase to the inner sanctum, which contains a lone mirror, which has a chance to take you to Static Noise Hell when interacting with it. Going upstairs from the sanctum will lead to a small section of the library, containing a ladder to a lit-up version of the attic, where the telescope will show a white circle in place of a starry sky, preventing access to Erratic Pillar Lands. This means you must return to the bedroom in Cotton Candy Haven by interacting with the bed in the room next to the ladder, and then reattach the key to the music box to play the music again.
A Shadow Lady lurks in the library, whose presence can be identified by the sounds of her footsteps. If she catches Urotsuki, static will cover the screen for a second, the music will stop (making it very difficult to locate the staircase), and the attic will light up, preventing access to Erratic Pillar Lands. Equipping the Fairy effect will not only faintly light the area but will also placate and repel the Shadow Lady, which makes navigation much easier.

Trivia
- The Infinite Library's structure and layout may have been based on the hexagonal floor plans for The Library of Babel, a short story penned by Jorge Luis Borges, detailing an endless library containing books upon books of every known combination of the alphabet.
- Within the daytime variation of the attic, a hanged Urotsuki can be found in the far right boundary of the upper floor, though she is barely visible without brightening the screen.
