Libraries and Books: Highlights and Dangers, Tuesday

If Jon looked a bit strained and tired...well, you should all be used to that by now; it was Jon.

"Good morning," he said as they got settled. "I, um. Well, it looks like we can skip introductions today, at least as far as who we all are. I should still tell you a bit about the class. Books can be wonderful, and libraries can be very useful, but...but sometimes they're dangerous. Here in Fandom, the really dangerous ones are kept safe by Mr. Constantine, the librarian, in Special Collections. Out in the wild, they may be more difficult to spot, and that can be a problem.

"Anyway, I thought I would share some of the ways to spot dangerous books, and what you can do with them if you do. And since that's not much for an entire semester, we'll also be going over things like how books in libraries are organized, how they're bound, and how to care for the regular sort. So."

He nodded. "You can start with your name if you like, although I think we already know each other, but I would like to know what you hope to gain from this class, if you have any particular expectations or requests, and what sort of experience you've had already with regular books and libraries and with the less safe ones."

"Hey, I'm Kurt Wagner and I'm taking the class because I love reading and learning. Also, I know books and such are a part of learning magic and how to control special powers and abilities- and that is something that will be a big part of my training and work as a (hopeful) member of the X-Men at some point. I am excited to see what all there is to learn from you, Mr. Sims."

"Ah I see. Magic isn't something good then where you are from?" Kurt asked, genuinely curious since magic and powers and abilities all seemed to kinda go hand in hand for many Mutants as far as he knew.

Kurt nodded thoughtfully. "That makes sense. Thank you, I will definitely be sure to be extra careful with anything that is possibly magic related."
