Library, Wednesday [05/16]

[no-toast-thanks.livejournal.com]

With the area properly cleared and safe for people to walk through, Thursday opened the library. She pushed the door open and looked inside. The grimace on her face said it all.

While the structure was intact and (after a cursory look inside) Special Collections was seemingly undisturbed, the main library itself was in shambles. Every single book was off the shelves. Some of the shelves were flat on the ground. Chairs were on their sides or up-ended. The computers looked worse for wear.

They had some work ahead of them, that was for sure. It didn't help that the power was seemingly out.

"Best get to it then," she said to herself and moved to pick up a chair.

[OOC: While we're not looking for any new library aides until Fall, feel free to come by the library when it's opened by one of the current aides and help clean and reshelve. Please follow the instructions given by the librarian and the aides.]

Edward had heard that the library was still standing. And he hoped that the books were well. And not chickens. And if they were chickens, someone should probably try to take care of them.

He pushed open the door to the library and stared. "...this is worse than Sheska's house."

He came in and started looking around. "I'm bad luck for libraries. That's what it is," he muttered to himself. "Least this one didn't burn down jus' before I got here."

"And hopefully won't any time in the near future," Thursday said, appearing from behind a table. "Come in and start sorting if you're here to lend a hand. I'm afraid we don't have much in the way of a lending service today."

He jumped slightly as she appeared then nodded. "No, no burning down, that would be bad. I can help sort. Anywhere in particular you want me to start? Do you have an alchemy section? I could start there."

"Alchemy isn't exactly a popular form of science here, but I'm sure we'll have some books on it. Unfortunately it's my first day, so I'm not entirely certain where it is. I saw some science books over there earlier, so if you want to start there, just organise the books into neat piles. Thanks for your help."
