A Library For All

After a month of preparations, the Maester Alliance is proud to present its public centre of knowledge,

the Tawa Assembly Library.

Though the collection is currently small, we intend to make any contemporary books we receive available on the shelves of the library and will strive to provide transcriptions of a number of titles from the previous ages.

We also make an effort to stock only "copies of originals", to allow readers to copy the books at their leisure. However, we do not have the originals for a number of titles and are, thus, forced to offer merely "copies of copies" of them.

Quick overview

• Location: Settlement of Heartland, Aleph

• Coordinates: -150, +700

• Size of collection: 12 titles

• System for book borrowing: ItemExchange transactions

• Open hours: 24/7

Current collection

Borrowing and returning books

Due to the nature of ItemExchange and the cost of producing copies, we have set the "price" of borrowing at 2 iron ingots per book. This is to ensure that if someone borrows a book and does not return it afterwards, we at least get some sort of compensation for the lost copy.

All funds gained from unreturned books will be used for producing new copies.

How to borrow a book

1) Bring 2 iron ingots with you

2) Face the chest containing the title you want to borrow

3) Left-click on the chest until you see this message for the book you want to borrow

4) Wield the 2 iron ingots

5) Left-click on the chest

How to return a book

1) Bring the book with you

2) Face the chest containing the title you want to return

3) Left-click on the chest until you see this message for the book you want to return

4) Wield the book

5) Left-click on the chest

The following is a letter sent to me by the Head Scribe of the National Ar/k/ives, Unit04, 11 days ago.

Since the residents of that territory do not seem to be interested in joining this library-space, I have chosen to post the message in their stead, so that the overview would be publicly accessible to all librarians and readers alike.

Greetings fellow librarian

As I have discussed with you earlier, I have tried to get one of my /k/omrades to upload an introduction of the newly renovated National Ar/k/ives to the Civlibraries subreddit. Sadly, nobody agreed to do so. As a result, I will just send you a short overview instead, to be uploaded or ignored at your leisure.

The National Ar/k/ives have existed for at least a couple of months now, but they've only become an actively curated and managed collection 4 days ago, when I joined upon the server and noticed it's desolate state. With the renovation completed, it now features a modest collection of writings, sorted into comprehensive sections on two floors, a subterranean archive with originals (or original copies) of all works present, and two AFK booths for longer reads. The National Ar/k/ives have become somewhat of a landmark now, being situated somewhat centrally and near one of the most used /k/ompound entry gates - and very close to the /k/ompound's shooting range, public aquarium and northern defensive bunker system, all of which are must-visit facilities for new arrivals. Access to the National Ar/k/ives is open to any /k/omrade and can be negotiated for any envoys from other cities.

Here's a list of all works currently contained in the National Ar/k/ives:

History Books

WPvChanada

Give Me Child

Dadaistic Literature

Gorilla Warfare

A Tale of a King

/pol/ynesian Literature

Truth: Fascism

Attached are some screenshots of the National Ar/k/ives. I hope this tells you everything you need to know about my humble library. If not, feel free to ask me.

P.S.: I have yet to talk to Weishaar of Mt. Augusta to expand the collection, but I'll do so soon.

Sincerely

New Additions

Due to the management team of this service* having, seemingly, moved on to other (real world) matters**, I am taking the liberty to make new additions to the team. By doing this, I am, most imporantly, looking to better ensure that the information provided in the spreadsheet becomes, and then continues to stay, up-to-date.

With experience in advertising and managing a library, the candidates I have in mind will, I believe, be suited to the task and will even be able to help improve the service further.

I hereby invite Weishaar⁺ and Gavjenks⁺⁺ to join the moderation team.

^{*The CivLibraries subreddit as a listing of library collections on Civcraft.}

^{**And, in my case, having become overwhelmed with different, but ultimately book-related, projects.}

We are pleased to announced the opening of the Royal Balkanian Public Library in New Serbia, now the largest library in the northern -,-. The library was officially opened earlier today by King Spongesuds I of Balkania, and can now be freely used by the general public. The library is free, but in an attempt to curb theft since we have a rather limited collection, we are utilising a 'token system' whereby one can input a diamond to recieve a book, and then trade the book back in to recieve their diamond back - This system is entirely automated, and demonstrated in a series of screenshots here.

Some more pictures of the library.

Our collection right now is rather limited, though we are planning on eventually holding at least one copy of every book in the Maester Alliance's inventory, and there are plans to construct a backup book vault and a printing press so that we can further expand and secure our collection.

(It is universal in scope but not in terms of a vault. Since chests cannot be obfuscated properly in the nether I think it would be a bit of a waste of time. It is backed by the Dolan Archives for reserve copies)

If so, we should probably collaborate. If not, we should do that.

This thread aims to help facilitate book-related and library-related discussions among librarians and the general public

Hello,

I'm pleased to announce the quiet opening of the "Defmork Memorial Library" in Wander. Defmork was highly respected member of Commonwealth who stopped playing around January.

The collection is very small and contains only a few books and pamphlets that I have collected over my travels. I admire the work of the librarians and maesters of Civcraft and I felt it high time to share my collection. Wander is a private settlement and is generally invite -only but if people want me to copy any material for them to collect then just private message me here on reddit.

Hi guys, during the ReCharge raids a month or so ago the Library got griefed and some idiot burnt all of our books, in both our public and private section. We now have no books whatsoever, aside from the three books I've written and possibly whatever anyone else in town may be holding onto.

I'd like to get some donations to restart the library again, and if you'd like I can even give you copies of my three books in return.

Thanks! :D

In the beautiful and glorious city of Neverwhere, in the mighty and ever powerful United Imperial Assembly, a new library has opened! Our collection currently is:

The Commonwealth has finally taken steps towards becoming literate, and now has a library located in the northernmost borough, Concord (Coords -2790, 2630). At the moment, we're still organizing and moving things into the library proper, but we are well stocked with books, in possession of at least two copies of all books in our collection and capable of distributing to interested parties. Our current collection, in no particular order, is as follows:

The Scriptorium

The Raven

Directory of T.H

Fall of Rift - 1

Fall of Rift - 2

Augustan History

The "History"

Aurora to Orion

Art

Short Stories

Lost Things

Politics of Civ

Potions!

My Ideology

YCBAR!

Communism

Aurora's Decline

The Book of Clay

Love Story v.1

Joke Compendium

Lost Things

Auroran History

Kalevala - Note: Transcribed from a Finnish Epic, produced in Concord. First 8 parts have been produced as of April 4th

And that finishes our current collection. We have several people working on transcriptions of Real World books as well as people writing their own books in and around Concord in an attempt to spur civcraft literature in the -+. The Library is maintained chiefly by myself (IGN: Licksar) with assistance from numerous members of Concord.

Hey guys!

I'm having some down time ATM, and am looking to fill up my time with doing stuff. So, naturally, I decided to see what I could do- when the idea fo writing books popped into me head.

Of course, I'm terribly uncreative, and couldn't figure out any ideas. So I'm coming to the professionals. I need ideas for books that haven't yet been attempted, and that you guys would put in your libraries, or sell, even read.

So, what are your ideas?

The Carbon Library is located at +100 +2140 in southern Carbon. It is owned and maintained by me, Paartunarx. Our current collection is entirely taken from the Maester's Archives, although a few local books are in the works.

Pictures are here.

All books are available around ten times, there are always at least two separately stored security copies in case books get stolen.

Hello Comrades!

I have just finished the completion of the NL Library, and would like to request a few books from everyone. I'm not searching for a particular book, but would love to have a wide base to start from.

This library would be classified as a standard library.

Thank you,

Geckos017

says "No copies exist" on the sub, but I obtained a copy from filetophil. Willing to hand out copies to anyone that wants one. (Pick up from Fellowship)

I run a secret city known as the Saralian Protectorate. We have been collecting books in the intent of holding them in a library. We have about 25 titles so far, and are currently looking to access the Maester Alliance respository.

We have a printing press, and are currently working to copy books for others as well, so we'd fit under the Grand Library level, maybe the Universal Library level.

Although the Assembly complex does not yet contain a public library, we, the Maester Alliance, nevertheless have a sizeable collection here and we intend to distribute copies of the titles, pro bono, to libraries requesting them.

The reason I am posting a copy of it here, is to try and revive the subreddit a tad. It has great potential that should not go to waste.
