The Library's true function is unknown at present. However it is hypothesized to be a collection of all information regarding the [[Flood]] known to the Forerunner and also collated cloned DNA sequences. All of this information is contained within the [[Index]], which is housed within the [[Index Chamber]] and is used in the process of activating the [[Halo]] system and wiping the galaxy clean of sentient life.

The Index is held in suspended animation within the core of the Library, out of reach of possible Flood outbreak. The only internal access is via a giant lift that descends from the highest level of the Library to the Index's suspended position.
