The Stanley Pines Memorial Library of the Supernatural, previously known as the Mystery Shack, is a famous library located in Gravity Falls, Oregon. It is home to a number of rare books about the supernatural and has been in the Pines family since Stanford Pines commissioned it in the mid 1970s.[1]
History

The Pines family continues to affectionately refer to it as 'the Shack' even after the conversion to supernatural library. After the Transcendence, Stanley Pines converted it into a library. Stanford suggested that it be named after Stanley, despite still being alive, to memorialize "a great hero and historical figure."[2]
