Any dwarves in your fortress will go to libraries to read books or idle around, giving them happy [[thought]]s. You will need bookshelves to store books and chests to store writing materials. To attract visitors to your library, you can buy books from caravans or steal them using missions on the world map. Your dwarves will read books as a form of entertainment. | ||
