The flood are at the library because their waiting for a reclaimer to come. Their plan is most likely is this
1) Ambush the monitor and infect him
2)Have the infected monitor lead the reclaimer to the index
3)The reclaimer takes the index the monitor takes the index as protocal madates.
4)The flood kill the reclaimer
5)The infected monitor brings the index to the gravemind.
6)The gravemind destroys the index.
Thus making halo a harmless ring.

The forerunner have flood in the library so only those strong enough to pass through them can activate Halo (themselves or reclaimers?)

Edit: Also why do you think in Halo 1 the flood made Keys into that big flood in the command center of the covenant ship. They probably were trying to use his knowlage of piloting ships to make some kind of flood that would know how to pilot a ship.

haven't you played halo2? while the gravemind had the MC and the arbiter for a talk he focused himself (and the flood) on In Amber Clad... the talk was just a diversion...

When the chief and cortana get on High Charity, cortana confirmed that:

"Flood-controlled dropships are touching down all over the city. That creature beneath the Library, that "gravemind", used us. We were just a diversion; In Amber Clad was always its intended vector. There's a conduit connecting this tower to the ship- head back inside, I'll lead you to it."

Moniters can't be infected because they are artificial intelligences and therefore they are not sentient life.

They may have been planning to use his neural implants to pilot the ship because the neural implants wouldn't have been corrupted by an infection.

In Amber Clad still might have not been controlled by the Flood until after it crashed. In the middle of Gravemind, Cortana said that Miranda Keyes and Sargeant Johnson were in the ship. She said something like, "Slip space ruptures; it's the Commander and Johnson!" She said that as In Amber Clad passed over you.

The Flood can hack into computers so they could have made the slipspace calculation with the ships technology or wtv.

No Miranda and Johnson were captured by Tartarus in the library. They were not on In Amber Clad

CORTANA:

"Slipspace rupture... It's In Amber Clad! Hailing... No response.

She's crashed into another tower ahead of our position. I'll keep trying to make contact, but I'm not registering any human life signs."

I still think that it's possible for there to have been some sort of navigational tools on In Amber Clad that would have helped the Flood to calculate how to get to High Charity, or maybe Gravemind made the calculations for the Flood.
