Library, 1/16

[chasingangela]

A subdued and somewhat red-eyed Angela opens the library at the start of second period and props herself behind the collections desk. She casts a glance at the pile of books to be sorted; she'll get to them eventually.

And then she just sits there, staring into space and thinking.

She has her head buried in her hands, but she would be more alert if someone came in. Probably.

Pippi walks reverently into the library, fiddling with the blue scarf around her neck. (She still can't get over the shear number of books.)

She looks around at a few different shelves and crinkles her nose... Then she wanders up to the desk and waits until somebody can help her.

Angela gives her a tired smile. "Hi, Pippi. Need some help?"

"Hi Angela," Pippi grinned back, "Yeeah... Um, if I wanted to find a book that mentioned a specific thing... How would I go about finding it?"

[chasingangela]

"A book that mentioned something?" Angela echoes. "Not sure. I mean, you can start by looking up the general topic, and seeing what the Dewey Decimal number is, then finding that section."

"Or you can ask me. I pretty much know what's where, by now."

"I'm thinking of trying a special project for Gardening Class. I was wondering if you had a plant book with information on something called gillyweed?"

[[ooc: fyi: Gillyweed is a Harry Potter thing. If the library has Potterverse books this (http://www.hp-lexicon.org/wizworld/books.html#Magical_Water_Plants_of_the_Mediterranean) is the one that would fit the bill. If not... IMPROV! OOPA! :D

"Gillyweed? Never heard of that one," Angela says with a shrug, and goes over to the computerized card catalog. "Let me run a search and see if anything pops up."

[OOC: Checking with the other library staff, as magical books are in the fabled Special Collections, for which Pippi would need a note from Quayle. I'm not sure whether this would count as magical or not. Sorry -- hopefully I'll have an answer soonish.]

[[ooc: No worries, I can wait. From what I know, the book itself is not magical, though it talks about magical things. As opposed to, say, "The Monster Book of Monsters", from the same milieux. Which is alive and rather agro. I could be wrong though, sorry to cause trouble. :)
