The Library of B'etqa (pronounced Beitz) is a famous tourist attraction aswell a former public library and headquarters of the Scholar B'etqa whose name the library is derived from. The library is notable for numerous things such as being the largest deposit of literature from the Assumptarian Golden Age, having copies of every book that travelled up and down the Hv'a (pronounced rey) river and also being the largest deposit of books from the period when Assumptaria was part of the Empire of Three Kings.

First beginning as an education center for B'etqa's students and as a library for B'etqa's manuscript library quickly gained recognition up and down the Hv'a river and across the scientific disciplines due to its founder Scholar B'etqa being a renowned polymath and expert and it became recognized as a center of literature and education for intelligentsia and students alike. It was under B'etqa's management that the library gained many reputable Scholars and ambitious students. At this time, the library was non-fiction only and fictious content was banned from being collected on the shelves. It was however when B'etqa died and another younger influential scholar and polymath who had studied elsewhere, Scholar 'Uma asserted control of the library that this ban was lifted and the library was renovated.
