==Content==
The Librarian's channel started out with him compiling creepy images into video compilations, reading scary stories, and urban exploring. As time went on, his channel began to take on a more gaming-oriented approach, with his videos covering creepy themes and locations in video games being among his most popular. However, he still occasionally uploads urban exploration content and readings of scary stories.
===Garry's mod videos===
Videos in which he plays horror themed maps created in the sandbox game Garry's mod. Due to his influence, some maps were made to contain elements directed towards him, such as his childhood fears. He regularly use a modification to allow use of his Steam Index to play in virtual reality.
===Minecraft: From the Fog/Mystery House squeal===
From the Fog Minecraft Survival series:
His personal Minecraft play-through, but with the mod "From the Fog" installed, which adds the entity "Herobrine," popularly known in the Minecraft fan-base. He regularly makes experiments to test ways of witnessing Herobrine and controlling his behavior. The Librarian made a head-cannon that Herobrine is a ghost of a crewmate from a beached ship he spawned in when he created the world for the first time. In the fourth episode, he made friends with an Alley by giving it a lantern, and named the creature 'Liberty', who is seen as a sidekick to him in the series. He has other pets such as Justice and Patience. The series ended with a movie. In which the Lunar Eclipse Team made a special version of the mod for The Librarian with early previews of certain features. One of which causes Herobrine to appear in certain places and a custom feature specifically for him where the Librarian hears a voice instructing him to go to certain places. The Librarian follows them and is led to mazes in the style of his house until he enters a stone prison in which it claimed to make the Librarian's character "go insane". Then, an allay death sound is played indicating Liberty has died. Later on, he approaches a replica of the ship. Herobrine was waiting and approaches his character face to face and says: "Remember.". He is shown screenshots of the previous episodes with the ghosts of the ship saying "We forgive you!" in chat. The Librarian flees to his house, only to see all his pets were okay. The series has since wrapped up, but the Librarian mentioned that he may play occasionally. (Likely when the mod receives its next major update.) He kept his promise with From the Fog Mystery House.
From the Fog: Mystery House Challenge:
While the mod hasn't been updated. He expressed interest in a series inspired by the infamous Winchester Mystery House located in San Jose, California. The goal of this series is for him to keep building and expanding his base to confuse the spirits. Nox, one of the developers of From the Fog, made a update for the Librarian that makes the mod work with the "Sleepless" mod after the developer of Sleepless allowed the collaboration. It makes it to where if he doesn't sleep with the Sleepless mod, Herobrine (or any other entity that uses in its skin shuffle option) will likely kill them in game and the series will be forced to end. (similar to a hardcore world). The Librarian knows time is up when his screen begins to turn black and is far away from a bed or slept in one of the past rooms that he previously slept in. This effect indicates that he is about to die in game. The series, much like its predecessor, was a success. This causes the Librarian to upload smaller episodes. The series takes a more role-playing style.
=== Voices of the Void ===
The Librarian started a series of 'Voices of the Void' by MrDoctorNose on 9 September 2023, which became another popular series like From The Fog. The Librarian explores the map and theorises on the base and its previous occupiers. The Librarian discovers that he got an easter egg based on his channel icon. He expressed his love for it and thanked the developer for it. Both seasons were successful with fan art being made. He proudly puts them on in the walls of the base using the poster item in game to display the fan art he received through his Discord server.
Voices of the Void had a second season after he stopped playing as the developer was working on a major update. It is similar to season 1, but with new events. 
On 10 August 2024, he rolled out his first episode of a third season.
