− | + | '''Libraries''' are [[locations]]. At a library, [[scholar]]s can write [[book]]s (scrolls, codices, and quires) and [[scribe]]s can create copies. Any dwarves in your fortress will go to libraries to read books or idle around, giving them happy [[thought]]s. | |
− | [[ | ||
− | + | If the library permits [[visitor]]s, scholars from civilizations around the world will come to your library, often bringing books of their own. Scholars will engage in various [[topic]]s with your scholars and each other, and will sometimes 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. | |
− | + | Visiting scholars can take books and scrolls with them when they leave the fortress. One way to limit this is to have two libraries. Have one library that forbids visitors and has bookshelves. Have another library that allows visitors and has no bookshelves. | |

This is a good way to increase the productivity of your fortresses' best and brightest. |

The ground floor in a generated library is typically used as a study area, and furnished with chairs, tables and a container with usable writing materials. A [[ramp]]-staircase connects the ground floor to higher floors as well as a basement. Basements and higher floors are typically used to store the books, and contain several bookcases. Libraries found in fortresses only have two floors, while those found in towns can span many stories high. | The ground floor in a generated library is typically used as a study area, and furnished with chairs, tables and a container with usable writing materials.
