Harry needed some time to work through everything that had been going on in this city, and what better way to recharge his brain than with his favorite form of entertainment?

Wandering though the streets, he made his way to the library, where he quickly spotted Virgil waiting out front. Of course, Virgil and he had technically met before, but Harry hadn't quite found it in his heart to tell the teen he'd seen through his disguise just yet.

Arriving at the foot of the library, Harry grinned and said, "Hey Virgil, ready to see what this place has to offer?"

Virgil saw Harry and stood up, snagging his backpack and slinging the strap over one shoulder, "You bet. I know our library back in Dakota had some older comic collections so I'm hoping maybe it's a trend even in libraries in other dimensions."

He headed up the stairs with Harry to get to the doors. It looked big from the outside but Virgil was amazed how big it looked on the inside too. "Woah, alright, this is gonna take longer than I thought," he replied, realizing how high the shelves stretched and how many rows there were.

"It's where I get most of my reading material when I haven't had much work in a while."

Following Virgil in, Harry just stopped for a moment and kind of blinked at the size of the place. Yeah, this would require a couple trips. "Let's hope whoever runs this place has heard of the Dewey Decimal system, or this might take a while," he commented.

"What do you do for work anyway," Virgil asked, lowering his voice since even though the library looked pretty empty old habits of being quiet in a place with lots of books was hard to break.

Virgil walked over to one of the shelves and looked for a plaque of some kind to signify numbers. Sure enough at the end of the shelf was a plaque designating the shelf with a series of numbers. "Huh, what do you know, guess the Dewey Decimal system really is universal."

Grinning at Virgil, Harry answered, "I'm a wizard," before moving into the library.

"I suppose something had to be, aside from corruption and taxes. Now if only we can find the card catalog." Harry was understandably distrustful of computer records.

Virgil raised an eyebrow at that, sure he could handle meta-humans, aliens, and superheroes but wizards were a little out of his league, "For real?"

"Card catalog," he groaned, "that'll take forever. We could probably find a database on a computer." He paused and looked around, the again, finding a computer in this place might prove just as difficult as finding the card catalog. They had to have something like that right? They had the little electronic journals after all, it wasn't that hard to imagine a computer in this place. "The library alone needs a map," he muttered.
