Assemble the finest magical library in town and earn the title of Grand Librarian in Ex Libris Second Edition. Rival collectors send assistants throughout a changing fantasy village to acquire rare books, then arrange those volumes on personal shelves before the Mayors Official Inspector arrives.

Worker placement locations change as the village develops, and Special Assistants provide individual abilities that alter how a collection grows. Every Book Card must be considered as part of a larger library because the final inspection rewards alphabetical order shelf stability category variety prominent works and the collectors secret focus. Banned books can undermine an otherwise impressive display.

The second edition keeps the original library building challenge while updating its presentation. Screen printed assistants revised meeples refreshed cards boards and box graphics improve readability, while Scoring Reference Tiles replace the folding Town Board. A solo mode is included for one librarian, and games for up to four players last approximately forty five minutes.
