In Ponyville Confidential, after the Cutie Mark Crusaders spread harmful gossip around Ponyville, Twilight encases the library in a magical barrier to keep them out. In It's About Time, when Twilight is convinced that a disaster is going to occur in the near future, she 'monitors everything' in Equestria from inside the library. The library also holds every entry in the Daring Do book series, as seen in Read It and Weep. For example, in The Cutie Pox, Spike pulls out a book called Perplexing Pony Plagues to diagnose Apple Bloom's case of cutie pox. In times of difficulty, Twilight often turns to her vast library for answers. In The Return of Harmony Part 2, Twilight keeps the Elements of Harmony in a book with hollowed-out pages in the library. In Sonic Rainboom, Rainbow Dash crashes into the library and knocks all the books off the shelves, making Rarity, Twilight, Pinkie Pie and Applejack organize them again. In Swarm of the Century, Twilight wakes up in the morning to find the library infested with parasprites. During the thunderstorm, Twilight has a slumber party with Applejack and Rarity and during the end of the episode, a tree falls into the bedroom through the window.

She was supposed to stay in the library during her stay in Ponyville. The library is protected from lightning by a magical lightning rod as mentioned by Twilight in Look Before You Sleep. In Friendship is Magic, part 1, Princess Celestia sends Twilight Sparkle to Ponyville to supervise the Summer Sun Celebration preparations.
