also an enemy that despises humans and is basically trying to extinct
them along with a few other species. I think it was a trilogy, maybe 4-5 books. It's been so long I can't remember."

BTW, I guessed "The 100" by Kass Morgan
  https://www.amazon.com/100-Kass-Morgan/dp/0316234494/
"No one has set foot on Earth in centuries -- until now."
"Ever since a devastating nuclear war, humanity has lived on spaceships
far above Earth's radioactive surface. Now, one hundred juvenile
delinquents -- considered expendable by society -- are being sent on a dangerous mission: to recolonize the planet. It could be their second
chance at life...or it could be a suicide mission."
Also was a TV series on the CW channel. It is on Netflix now.

compare the two. Basically the show has effectively nothing to do with
the book except the broad stroke of "space survivors return to Earth".
For one thing the book series, IN ITS ENTIRETY, covers nothing more than
the first 24 hours after landing AND focuses on teen relationship angst.

I don't remember it. And I'm drawing a blank from TV Tropes.
YMMV.
I tried searching Tropes for "library" for the encyclopedia
thingy. I also tried "encyclopedia". And also ><https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Seers>
but that is mainly reserved for foretelling the future.
<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Literature/NomesTrilogy>
by Terry Pratchett has a thing that supplies plot information,
and eventually gets its own character development.
<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EncyclopaedicKnowledge>
doesn't refer to that, although this article is meant to
include both people and objects. Computers also could be >in'<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/Expositron9000>
<https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/EncyclopediaExposita>
is about quoted text either happening within a story,
or decorating it.
