The Library
Do You Have Your Library Card?
You forgot it? Don’t worry, Pumpkin. You have an eternal membership here, and I’ve found you on my system!
There are three ways to hunt down your next read here. You can consult my creatures, rummage through the particulars or simply lose yourself among my VERY well-stacked shelves.
Oh, and just so you know, both of my creatures are compensated extremely well for their efforts. Please make use of them. No need to rush; you never know what you might find in my Library… or what might find you!
Consult the Creatures
Maudlynn and Mortimer at your service!
Maudlynn
My Bookwyrm
Tell Maudlynn what sort of reading mood has taken hold of you and they’ll rummage through the shelves and sniff out something suitably unexpected!
If they don’t find anything delightful for you the first time, ask them again... they’ll dig up 3 more stories for you to devour!
Mortimer
My Archivist
Give Mortimer the particulars and they’ll scuttle through the catalogue, retrieving whatever best matches your specifications.
