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.

You head for the back of the library, hunting down these stories of (hopefully famous) people. Sure enough, here's a shelf and it has the names of pets you recognize. There's the ubiquitous King Coltzan. Farther along are lesser known pets, some you recognize only from appearances in the Neopian Times.
And along the bottom shelf are a set of thick books that turn out to be biographies of just about every evil being in the "Gallery of Evil". You gingerly pull one or two out to check the titles. Yup, definitely evil.
You finally decide to pick out...

Oh sure, so you're slightly afraid of heights and you have a fear of clowns. So what? Your mother always told you that courage is facing your fears, not having any fears at all. In fact, you think it would be much nicer to read about a strong, brave Neopian, facing impossible odds with bravery (and stupidity) to save the world from certain destruction than reading about some crusty old vampire biting people. You want to read about someone you can make into a role model.
Someone like...
You turn and look at some different books. Surely, a book on a courageous Neopian Hero would be somewhere around here? Let's just have a looksee...

You pull a short book from the shelf; the worn gold lettering on the battered spine names it The JubJub Who Saved Neopia... Almost. You open the book and begin to read.
You soon find there is really no text to read; this book is all pictures. But no children's book this: even as you flip through past the first page of a heroic-looking JubJub wielding a sword with its stubby feet, you come across increasingly sloppier sketches of the JubJub facing a towering enemy.
You flip the pages faster and the figures blur into motion; the JubJub looks up, up - into the face of a huge, fire-breathing Draik! The JubJub raises his sword, the sketched Draik looks straight at you... and suddenly there are no more drawings to flip through. The last page with anything on it just has a trailing scrawl that ends rather abruptly.
In fact, perhaps "abruptly" may not be the right word - if you look closely, you believe you can make out the words: "Look out for that---" The remaining pages are charred coal-black and smell rather burnt as you turn them. You place the book back on the shelf, with mixed feelings. A prank? A real story? What happened?
A loud snorting sound nearby makes you turn. Behind you is...
