[stargate525]

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

good grief, I miss three weeks and I'm really behind...


wanna revise the sorting of the books a bit. probably break up stories into fiction and non-fiction sections, and putting poems, plays, and that sort of thing in an 'Poetry & Arts' section.

also, I'm thinking ive got a semi-final version of what the main library would look like, but since I'm not at my home computer, I cant show you, so I will ahve to try and describe it.



you enter through the secret passage, and at the beginning it looks like regular sewers. nothing too special about them. Then you go through a second entrance, into a large, three story chamber. you are beneath the main floor, and a ramp leads upward. above you is a bridge that spans over the entrance. On the bridge would be any sort of 'special' items. (it's kinda like a basement garage with a first-level driveway, kinda?)

On the main floor, there are doors that lead to the different wings (fiction, non-fiction, 'forbidden' books, skillbooks, poetry & arts, and any I forgot.) each wing is unique, but still in the same sort of style. (so no japanese pagoda unless the whole thing is a pagoda)

above the main floor, connected by stairs and catwalk like things, are the main editor's offices. I really want this section to seem from below that it is floating.

below the main chamber are three rooms which I have dubbed the 'vault', 'preservation room', and 'duplication room'.

The vault is where the originals of the books are stored, warehouse style, without the fanciness of the library proper. Its protected from fire, flood, magic, the works.
this is basically to ensure that at least one copy of the books exist, regardless of discovery of the real library. a failsafe, if you will.

the preservation room deals with preserving the books in the vault. pretty straightforward.

the duplication room is where the books go to be reproduced if they are too sensitive or fragile to survive the trip up to the office front. small room, one press, two tops.


comments and requests for clarification are welcome.
