− | + | '''Libraries''' are [[locations]]. At a library, [[scribe]]s can copy [[book]]s/[[scroll]]s and [[scholar]]s can write them. [[Dwarves]] (even those who are not assigned to the library) will sometimes come to read books or idle around, giving them happy [[thought]]s. | |

− | + | Scholars of various races will visit your library, often bringing books of their own. They may be dwarven, [[human]]s, [[elves]], and occasionally [[goblin]]s and [[animal people]] who have become part of a non-hostile civilization. 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. On rare occasions, they will petition to become permanent part of your fortress for the purpose of studying. | |

+ | Libraries can be found in some procedurally generated sites in adventure mode. In an unmodded game, libraries can be found in human [[town]]s and dwarven [[fortress]]es. Like the libraries in [[fortress mode]], the dittos in adventure mode will be frequented by scholars who spend their days pondering and arguing about [[personality_trait#beliefs|values]]. | ||

A rampcase connects the ground floor to higher floors as well as a basement. Basements and higher floors are typically used to store the [[book]]s, and contain several bookcases. |
