[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 2073075, member: 6957"] Different libraries, different means. For the free libraries, which are public access, there is a small (1cp per day) fine on books that are returned late. Until you pay the fine you can't take out any more books. Society libraries are open only to members, again a fee is assessed for late returns, and some books may not be removed from the premises. University libraries are only open to students, professors, and alumni. No book of more than 10 gp value may be removed, though copying of passages is permitted, and scribes are available for a fee. Those books that may be taken out have a small fee per day. Wizards and priests guard their books well, with differing effect. One book was rumored to 1. kill the thief, 2. turn the thief into a zombie, and 3. the zombie would return the book, collapsing again once the book was returned. No one ever stole the book to find out whether or not the rumor was true... The Auld Grump [/QUOTE]
