Nodes were machines used as interfaces to the central computer of The Library. They had limited functionality, being only capable of answering simple questions of visitors. They were like abstract statues, with a large headpiece which contained a "flesh aspect", a human face. Such faces were donated, a practice apparently quite common in the 51st century. One of the people that had donated a face was Mark Chambers.
Faces were chosen for each user individualy from flesh banks by the computer, based on what it thought the user would like.
It was through such a node (with the name 710/aqua) that the Doctor and Donna got their first clues to what had happened in the Library, as it replayed a message by the head librarian, warning visitors to count the shadows.
Donna briefly became a node when the Doctor failed to send her back to the TARDIS. (DW: Silence in the Library/Forest of the Dead)
