i'm looking for an easy thing [ OPEN MINGLE ]

Who: Anyone and everyone! Who wants to look at books?
What: BOOKVALANCHE
When: Let's say from the 25th and onward for simplicity
Where: The Storyteller's Temple, in addition to the library that's finally getting some much-needed attention
Warnings: Mark anything that comes up!



The library is finally getting some renovations! Between some new bookshelves (hope someone here is good at hauling) and a veritable cascade of all sorts of books and supplies, an awful lot needs to be transferred from the Temple to the heretofore unused library, and any help anyone has to offer is much appreciated!

But, of course, there's also so very much to go through for your own perusal. Just look at all this! Coloring books, puzzle books, stories of all sorts, comic books, fashion magazines, all sorts of survival texts...you name it.

This all needs to be put away and stored in those neat little waterproofing book protectors - shelves need to be moved, supplies need to be secured, and someone should probably take inventory. But also...there's a lot of fresh new reading material on an island that previously had none.

Isn't that worth looking over?

He brightens up a little further, just at getting an interested response. "Absolutely. I don't know how many are here, since we mostly talked about getting books on survival, in general - but, if all else fails, we could always ask for more on plants, specifically. It's bound to be useful around here."

"I would like that. I would read books on plants, if we had more."

What do people write about, when they write about plants? Maybe they draw them, or put in pictures. Maybe they talk about where they came from, or how to grow your own. "I'm trying to start a garden, back where I'm staying, but it's hard. Are there books that help with something like that?"
onegreeneye: ([troll]are you sure?)

"There should be - they certainly exist, at least, whether we've got them here yet or not." He tucks the book under his arm and stands up, looking around to try and remember if he's seen anything along those lines. "If we didn't get any this time around, there will always be chances to ask for some later."

He hopes, though, that that'll qualify as survival books and there will be some already. That would be simplest.

"I'll have a better look once everything is in place."

There are... a lot of books around, right now. Most people going through the various piles are slipping them into little plastic covers, so it would probably be annoying to try and rifle through them now.

"... I've never really been to a library before," she confesses after a moment's hesitation. "So this is exciting."
