I know many folks make very lovely libraries out of their private chambers, but I wonder if there is an actual house/FC that has converted their house into a Public Library. Or, alternatively, if anyone might consider doing it? I think it would be a fantastic community RP hub if organized and ran consistently.
Just like real-life libraries it would host a WIDE variety of events and programs.
For example:
- study groups
- lore/history nights
- poetry nights
- book clubs
- quizbowl nights
- study zones
- classes
- story time [for characters with children]
- library-supported literary plays
- debate nights
- IC author sign/read nights [for those who rp authors]
- Lore question/research help
- a cozy area for studious & learning characters to meet up with like-minds
- sharing of lore concepts and head canons for underdeveloped areas
The RP possibilities really go on and on because libraries are a vital part of any community. If someone does take up such an idea and has the time and dedication to see it through with vigor, professionalism, and enthusiasm, I'd happily donate to that cause.
