On duty, I often have to sort through piles of account books, checks, contractual obligations, invoices ... All this is waste paper that will lose all meaning in a couple of years. But the books in Rune-Liar's library are a completely different matter. They are a storehouse of world wisdom. They cannot be neglected. Seekers, please help the venerable Minerva with her library routine!

Story
Bibliophile (Points: 30)
Diary of a Librarian
Every day new knowledge is born in Akrasia.
Over time, they take shape, turning into letters that add up to full-fledged texts, and arrive in our library in the form of books..
Humans, Sillins, Kenai, Sylphs, Horgabruds...
The Rune-Liar Library becomes a common home for stories written by authors from all backgrounds and from all over the world..
It is the duty of the librarian to ensure that none of these stories are lost..
But from time to time mysterious books appear in the library. They don't have a name. No writing date. Their authors are anonymous. I put them in a separate shelf...
Perhaps through these books, which are sometimes impossible to understand, forbidden knowledge penetrates into our world. Perhaps they appear on the pages so that we know about their existence....
The day is warm today, filled with the lulling whisper of the waves.

Bibliomaniac (Points: 40)
Diary of a Librarian
talking books. These curious creatures harbor a wealth of knowledge..
Their passion for knowledge was so strong that they gained the gift of speaking and sharing their thoughts..
They know many secrets of this world. Some consider themselves to be real know-it-alls, but, of course, they don’t know everything in the world..
They only know what's in them it is written. No more and no less.
It's funny, but because of this narrow-mindedness, they constantly argue with each other - and with visitors.
On the other hand, these disputes help them broaden their horizons..
As they say, truth is born in a dispute!
... That's just from their chatter I have every now and then splitting his head!
Today, one restless monograph spoke of such things that any sane scientist would consider nonsense, and a clergyman - heresy! But what if it was secret knowledge, still inaccessible to any of the Akrasians?..

Senior Librarian (Points: 70)
Diary of a Librarian
Сегодня монография поведала мне о Табула раса.
Она сказала, что в библиотеке есть неведомая мне Запретная секция, в которой заключены все тайны мироздания.
Возможно, это как-то связано с появлением фолианта Бездны, который открылся тому Искателю… Вспомнить бы имя... Кажется, Player.
Теперь я думаю, что все те загадочные книги – без названия, без авторства, без каких-либо типографских отметок – как-то связаны с Табула раса.
Возможно, они до некоторых пор пребывали во тьме по чьему-то желанию – или даже по воле высших сил...
Увы, я могу только гадать. Ведь я всего лишь скромный библиотекарь.
Сегодня был очень странный день. Возможно, мне показалось, но… Я видела тень, которая словно бы кралась по стенам библиотеки.
