The Library Team Defense Force (Biblotek Bataljon), or Library Corps (LC), is a military organization in Eslovakia which serves to defend against the Media Enhancement Group and other pro-MEG independent factions. Different from the normal librarian department, which performs librarian positions like modern librarians, the LDF's main goal is to provide self-defense from the MEG during library raids. The LDF has 18 bases throughout Eslovakia. Each of the bases act under the provisions of the local government, and houses a public library where civilians can read and check out books.
In the early years of the Library Team, the library forces were not well organized, so coordination with neighboring forces was often delayed which caused problems in times of armed conflict. One such incident occurred on February 3, 2015 in Fyrkanter at the Fyrkanter Central Library which later became known as the Nightmare of Fyrkanter. The incident was caused by the Media Enhancement Group who raided the library and caused the deaths of twelve people who were against the Media Enhancement Group. Since that day, the library forces armed themselves in self-defense and have become much more organized; the public even acknowledges the LDF as having more combat experience than the police. The incident also caused the formation of library bases in ten regions, and the system of library forces in operation.
The Library Defense Force has several branches which contribute to the organization as a whole. At the top is the Administrative Department where library administrators work doing daily administrative duties such as planning, organizing, staffing, budgeting, or directing. The Department of Defense works on defending against the Media Enhancement Group, and one section of the department consists of the Library Task Force, an elite group of soldiers who go through rigorous training in order to respond during difficult operations. At the Ekaterinberg Library Base, there are about sixty members in the task force. The Logistical Support Department works on stocking books and supplying the Department of Defense with military equipment, though does not get involved with general outsourcing. There is also a Human Resources Department in charge of human resources, and an intelligence agency. There are approximately 30,000 members in the Library Defense Force throughout Eslovakia. The German Chamomile is used in the insignia of Library Officers and above because the flower was a favorite of the late wife of the Library Defense Force commander Gustav Lindgren Persson.
