This bookshelf has a chest with a jade colour object.
The white book on thois bookshelf has two more pages with notes on them.
Book + windows + frame......
The positions of the numbers have something to do with the libray window panes.
The "O LIBRARY " means that you have to look at the window panes from the front of the library , not from the inside of the library.
Once you have located all the books and the symbols , you will find the bookshelves are actually arranged in the "Star (shield) of David" formation.
Red rectangles are the bookshelves with the symbol found in the white book on each shelf.
Locations of bookshelves in library.
Walk further down the library. You find a wall with the "Star (shield) of David" symbol and a staircase.

match the positions of the numbers with the window panes.
Using the hint above the gargoyle in the secret room.
Big blue square means the blue square with the Largest number 9.
The smaller blue square is actually a medium size square , meaning a medium number on blue square, that is 6 since blue squares have number 2,6, 9 with 9 the largest and 2 the smallest , so 6 is the middle (medium) number.
Using the same logic for the pink numbers. Small pink square means 1.
So Blue blue square , small pink square , small pink square , medium blue square represent:
9 , 1 , 1 , 6
Return to the box on bookshelf left of the door.
Use 9 1 1 6 to open the box.
Get the blue key.

All the other pages (upto page 38) are all the combinations of the symbols shown in the box found in the study room.

Follow the L shape pathway , goto this door.
Using the sequence you found in this device:
Click on the same sequence to click on the squares.
Open the door and enter the storage room.
Hint :
Hit = column O value O
means it is called a Hit if the number is the correct code digit at the correct position.
Blow = column X value O
means it is called a Blow if the number is the correct code digit but at wrong position.
Get the note from the right.
It has a list of codes
We start with 4902 because this code has the largest number of hits (3) .
It means 3 of the digits in this code are the correct codes AND also at the correct positions.
The next one with the highest hits is 8901 (2 hits , so two of the digits are the correct code digits and at the correct position.
Since 90 are the common digits in both 4902 and 8901 , both have the minimum of 2 hits , at least two digits are the correct code digits and at the correct positions, so we can deduce that:
x 90 y is the code where x and y are still unknown at this point.
With, 4902 , we know 90 are the correct code digits and they are at the correct locations, we can say either 4 or 2 is the other correct code digit.
The only other code with 4 in it is : 4567 which has 0 hit but 1 blow . We know that 5 6 are not the correct code digits (since 9 0 are the correct code digits in those positions), so either 4 or 7 is the correct code but at the wrong position.
Since 4 is in the same position in both 4902 and 4567 , and we know 4902 has 3 hits, 2 of which are 9 0 , we can deduce that 4 can not be the correct code, if it was , then 4567 would have 1 hit instead of 0.
4902 has 3 hits (meaning 3 digits are the correct code digits and at the correct position) and 4 is not the correct code digit, we can deduce that 902 are the correct code digits in the correct positions.
4567 has 1 blow (meaning one correct code digit but at wrong position) . We have also established that 4 , 5 and 6 are not the correct code digits , that leaves us only 7.
7 is the "blow" in 4567 (7 is the correct code digit but at the wrong position).
So the final code is 7 9 0 2!
Note the left smaller wheel and right bigger wheel . What does the number 20 mean??
Use 7902 to open the box .
Get the nail extractor.
Leave the storage room and return to the giant blue crystal at the courtyard.

We saw these in the storage room at the courtyard.
Click on the left wheel will reduce the number in the middle by 3 (i.e. -3).
Click on the right wheel will increase the number in the middle by 7 (i.e. +7)
Using this hint:
The objective is to set the number to 20 by clicking on those wheels.
Answer:
Click on the right wheel 5 times.
Clicking right wheel 5 times to get 35 (5 x +7).
Click the left wheels 5 times (5 x -3 = -15)
35 - 15 = 20 !!
