December Library Catch-All [ OPEN ]

[aimsforknees]

WHO: John, Harold, and anyone who might find themselves at the Library
WHEN: December
WHERE: The Library!
WHAT: The Library is here and open to all! Come borrow books, find a comfy chair to relax in, or snoop around.
NOTES\WARNINGS: Will be added as they come up

The Library is a five-story neoclassical building of terra cotta, brick, and stone. And the inside is, in fact, a library! And rather clean and organized too. There's no dust, no muddy footprints (apart from your own), and all the shelves are organized by Dewey Decimal, subject, and author. All literature is something you might find in a 2010 New York City library: various forms of fiction, children's and teens' sections, history, science, cooking, gardening, the list goes on. There's even small sections of audiobooks on compact disks and of DVDs ranging from old classics to history shows. The first floor has a reading/study room, a comfortable space with deep armchairs and tables with chairs; the fifth floor has some smaller tables clustered under a skylight. Part of the second floor is abruptly closed off by a door with a biometric scanner that denies entry to anyone who isn't John Reese or Harold Finch; the walls surrounding this section are soundproofed, so even a keen listener won't hear anything from inside. Otherwise, it's a perfectly normal library!

[ They took Bear to the park sometimes to play, but not as much as he probably wanted. Here in Etraya he's getting a lot more attention since John has nothing better to do. ]

It is. You're free to borrow any books you want from it, just take care of them and return them when you're done. If you leave them at the front desk they'll get re-shelved.

[ Re-shelved by John, but he doesn't need to include that. ]

[She is ssssoooo distracted by Bear for a second, she almost doesn't even hear him. Eventually it processes and she settles for just kneeling next to the dog and petting his head, his scruff.]

Really? That must be some library to reshelf its own books.

[aimsforknees]

[ Oh, that's an innocent assumption. John isn't going to confess to being the one who will do it, so he can let her believe that. ]

I don't know what kinds of books you read, but there's a teens' section.

[ Maybe she's an avid reader and will be offended by his recommendation, but she seems nice enough not to get too mad if he's off the mark. ]

[godkaru]

[She smiles a little at the recommendation, giving Bear a good pet over. He's such a good booyyyyyy-]

I never really got to read much for fun back home, but I'll look! There's probably something fun right?

[aimsforknees]

[ Not much a reader? Then probably a good recommendation. ]

I think the section is mostly fun. I doubt you'll find textbooks there. What did you read back home?

[ It's been a long time since he's looked at young adult books, but his dim recollection is that she won't find anything too serious. ]
