Go on, don't be shy! Look, they're even divided by type of story. Over here, I have adventure stories. If you're looking for romance, try that shelf. Oh, and don't forget the biographies.
If you're looking for history, we have that, too. I'm afraid that much of our source material is in storage, but you can enter that through the side door over there.

After coughing on the dust, you poke around a bit. Source material, indeed! Here are shelves with ancient scrolls ready to tear at the slightest excuse. And here are boxes filled with musty old books that are bound in leather. The writing is worn mostly off of the covers.
Stepping back into the center of the room, you try not to pay any attention to the wavering shadows in the corners. Finally, you reach a decision.

You unroll the scroll with the utmost of care, doing your absolute best to make sure that it doesn't rip any further. Suddenly a huge cloud billows upwards, and you scramble backwards, coughing.
"Ok, what's this?"
You look up into the eyes of a rather annoyed-looking genie. He's a purple wocky, very similar to the auction genie, but without her usual grin.
"I, uh, opened your scroll I guess."
"Oh, you did, eh? Well if you were expecting any wishes, forget it. I'm all out, and besides, you probably didn't do me any favor anyway."
"Oh, I wasn't, I wasn't! I didn't even know you were there! Uh, sorry to have bothered you, I'll just..."
The genie holds up a commanding paw. "Hold it right there, kiddo. Before you try any funny stuff, I've got just one thing to say..."

"... when I was naive and young I would have thanked you, but by now I've noticed that people only release genies because their greedy, or by accident, such as yourself. Therefore I don't feel entitled to give you any gratitude.
"I tell you, the way I got caught up in that darn scroll is what someone did with my last wish. They did something rather complicated so I won't explain it, but it had something to do with this library and its books. It intrigued me so much that I came here and checked it out for myself. The problem was that it hadn't occured to the individual who used the wish, or myself for that matter, that there was no convieniet way out once you're in. After a long time I found a way out, but the scroll was physically closed till you released me, and now I'm free for good. But I had to use some fancy magic to manage it. So remember, before you take a book, assume there's now way out."
The genie disappears while you have no idea what it was talking about...
