Shelf Sections Reference
Every shelf section in Clean The Library with codes, themes, spine colors, and example books for 1A–1N and 2A–2Q.
How Shelf Sections Work
Every book in Clean The Library belongs to exactly one shelf section identified by a letter-number code displayed on shelf endcaps. First-floor codes start with 1 (1A–1N); second-floor codes start with 2 (2A–2Q). Themes group books by genre and magical discipline; spine colors provide at-a-glance sorting cues when titles are unreadable.
Example books anchor memory—seeing Vector Space Theory of Magic signals 1D Science blue without reading every spine during Sort output verification. Our data matches verified community shelf charts and in-game observations from Retro Library and StarMarine.
When two sections share similar colors, use title keywords, H hints, Shelf Guide magic, or the wiki shelf lookup tool to disambiguate.
