title: Velvet Ward Public Library
|
||
---
|
||
|
||
Open every day of the year and a notable exception to the [[Velvet Ward]]’s oppressively snobbish atmosphere, the Velvet Ward Public Library welcomes visitors from all parts of the city and beyond. As a public institution, it is owned by the city, but the duties of its management have long been undertaken by the members of [[House Quillix]]. The house’s current Lord, [[Rogier Quillix]], relishes the work and spends almost all of his waking hours (and often his sleeping hours too) within the library’s maze of bookshelves.
|

|
||
The Velvet Ward Public Library has a reputation for being staffed by a group of rather eccentric people, Lord Quillix included; this reputation goes a long way toward keeping the more pretentious Velvet Ward [[Aristocracy|aristocrats]] away from its doorstep.
|
||
|
||
Within the library are books and scrolls covering a wide range of topics, although more esoteric religious and supernatural subjects are better sought in more specialized institutions.

Also, you’d better believe the reading rooms are full of those nice green desk lamps. |
