i need help

dangerawaits (15)
i have been writing a dungeon crawler type game and have encountered a problem,
in the code below this i use an if statement stating that if the user is to type library Library The library or the library it is to continue but anything else to skip the following code.However it seems that no matter what i type in it always progresses on to the next code when in fact i want it to skip on, any help would be much appreciated thanks

}

}//while end

if(travel == "library"||"The library"||"Library"||"the library"){//library
Should be replaced by:
if (travel == "library" || travel == "The library" || travel == "Library" //and so on
