Libraries are a location. At a library, scribes can copy books/scrolls and scholars can write them. Dwarves (even those who are not assigned to the library) will sometimes come to read books or idle around.
Scholars of various races will visit your library, often bringing books of their own. Occasionally they will take your books with them when they leave. They may also write their own books while visiting (using your supply of writing material in the process). These books effectively become property of your fortress, as the author usually doesn't take their books away upon leaving.
Setting up a Library
- Hit i to designate the zone for your library. Set it to a meeting area with m, hit l to designate it as a location. See the location page for more details.
- Build bookcases to store books and scrolls
- Build boxes/bags to store writing material
- Build tables and chairs
- Designate scholars and scribes as desired
