Ok, new thread here.
CONFIRMED ROOMS;
Different rooms for each 'category' of books
'Front' office
Offices for most people in this
A central staicase
POSSIBLE ROOMS;
A Atrium/greenhouse thing
Private reading rooms for skillbooks
Living quarters, dining halls, and other misc. living areas.
LOCATION
To yet be determined, although its getting pretty polarized for either lost in the forests, or in the middle of the city.
OTHER INFO ABOUT THE LIBRARY
We will be adding at least one secret area, although it's location and nature might only be privvy to a few.
Might have more areas than that.
Anything I missed, just post.
Do not make another thread about anything that would be put in the library. If you have an idea please post it in here.
Thanks

I was wondering, is there a consensus already on where the library will be placed? (In the wilderness or in a city?) If I may vent my opinion here, I'm for the wilderness idea. I think it makes a lot more sense; because:
- It seems a bit dangerous to hide what could be the largest group of outlawed literature in the Empire right underneath a heavily guarded city.
- The chances of being discovered are a lot smaller.
- A lot of people disappearing in one alley or basement might rouse suspiscion in a large settlement. But who cares when an unsignificant traveller leaves town and goes into the wilderness? It happens all the time.
- Making huge open halls and rooms under the ground in cities would threaten structural integrity of the buildings above.
- Far from civilisation, scholars could easily attend their studies without being disturbed.
- In the wild, the library could be extended endlessly.
One final comment, instead of building "in the forest" has anyone thought of a more mountainous environment? It's a known fact that Oblivion will have plenty of mountains (to make up for the "natural borders"). Maybe we could have the library carved into a mountain? The space that can be carved out is limitless. Light could be provided by shafts going through the mountain side (and other light sources of course). And a bit of paint and some wood can do wonders for the interior, making it as cosy as any normal building.
And last, but not least, this environment has one great advantage: Provided the entrance is well hidden, there is virtually no way of getting in without help from the inside; you can't walk through stone. Even if the Empire would send a patrol to find the location of the library, they wouldn't find it and all of it precious content would be well protected.
Well, that's my two cents.
