Today I began my occupation as 'Librarian' within the Siren's Port public-access library.

Since many of you are unaware of this service, I took it upon myself to explain basic library law.

----

First law: Books are for useLibrary materials are for public consumption

That's... interesting.

Are there even more laws? Are they really laws?

Voice.

[without_virtue]

Yes, they are really laws.

Laws that librarian staff as well as library patrons must abide by.

Voice.

[payingthepiper]

Is there only one library in the city?

Voice.

[without_virtue]

There are multiple smaller branches, though their selection isn't as broad.

[taketheearsoff]

Curiosity killed that cat (though I'm no cat, soooo~)...I couldn't help, but wonder if some books kept there are also - out - of this world? Much like the coming and going of newcomers, does the library also host a plethora of books that don't belong?

[without_virtue]

A valid question.

The answer is yes; however access to rare materials is limited and restricted.

Access is monitored on premises - rare materials are not available for loan.

Truly~? [The old crow contemplates a few seconds. Could Rapture be hidden among those books? Tucked away from prying eyes?] I just might have to visit. The place - seems - promising.

The library is an impressive resource, even I wasn't expecting the level of information available.

[disinfects]

does the library have its own criminal justice system too?

[without_virtue]

Library abuse will be judged and punished accordingly.

[disinfects]

its good to know that justice will be served to book shankers

[without_virtue]

You'll be pleased to know the library is handicap accessible.

[madeinoblivion]

Sounds like a lot of formalities for explaining what's pretty simple. Go and borrow books. Riku's picked up a bunch of stuff from there.

voice

[without_virtue]

Not all library materials are borrowable.

Proof that knowledge of library policy is important to the average individual.

voice

[madeinoblivion]

Well most of it is, right?

I'm sure if I had a crazy urge to know it off by heart, I could have found it there. You don't need to make copies of it for the whole network.

[without_virtue]

Limited circuit documents, records and items from the archive are not available for loan.

Books, videos or other publically published and distributed items are.

Eliminating ignorance is not crazy.

So you've settled into work. Well done, I'm glad to hear good news. I had wondered what became of you, ever since you took off with your bed charts.

How extensive are the city archives? Are there many records kept that aren't public-access?

[Voice]

[without_virtue]

Those charts were personal and confidential information, it was well within my rights to remove them.

There is an incredible amount of information within the archives. Everything at the library is public access with library permission - as well as carefully monitored and recorded.

[Voice]

[gaveherwings]

You do realize that plenty of patients are kept on file at medical facilities, and that we're bound by law to hold that information confidential, correct? Keeping it on your person is, in fact, an act greater risk. But I doubt you'll be forgotten at Skye, in any case. You left quite the shining impression on our nursing staff.

Interesting. How far back to the dated local archives go?

[Voice]

[without_virtue]

I don't keep them on my person. I destroyed them.

The nursing staff was incompetent, their opinions are invalid.

To the creation of the library, which was founded when the city was first repopulated.
