The investigator hear no noise from the room. They slowly make their way inside. The room is dark. There´s only one window, it is on the East wall and has been closed with wooden planks.
The room is a library. There are bookshelves against all the walls, and two bookcases placed in the center of the room, one placed perpendicularly to the other, so to draw a L. All space on the wall is occupied by bookshelves, and only a part of the southwest wall is free of bookcases.
The shelves in the center of the room are filled books, but they are open on the back, so that one can look through them by dislocating some books and opening a chink. There are hundreds books including cyclopedias, essays, classic novels. There texts of history, natural science, anthropology, geography and geology. Many volumes are specific to the history and natural features of the Bay of Fundy. Bookcases with the oldest books have glass doors, some of which date back to the end of the nineteenth century. Next to the South East Wall there´s a small table with an oil lamp placed on it.
A portion of the shelf occupying the Southwest wall contains fake books. They only have spines, so that at first glance, they actually look like real books. However, if viewed closely, each spine is connected to an iron lever penetrating a hole in the wall, so that each spine can be pressed like a button. The buttons form a grid with seven columns and four rows, thus counting a total of twenty-eight buttons.
While observing the strange shelf, the investigators remcall two things. First, beyond the Southwest wall of this library should be the room they saw as collapsed, from outside the house. This collapsed room was above the living room.

Second, when they were downstairs in the living room and they heard the footsteps from the upper floor, these started right above their heads.
