“That perfect tranquility of life, which is nowhere to be found but in retreat, a faithful friend and a good library.”

 

Nestled within the Karosgrad Square lies a small building quiet on the corner of it. It appears overgrown and perhaps even Poorly kept. As you approach the building, you'll notice two adorable boxes situated to the right of the shop's front. These boxes are specially labelled, with one inviting you to make a book order and the other inviting you to make a donation. As an added bonus, a cute and cuddly soft toy duck sits atop the donation box, eagerly waiting to find a new home with a loving owner.. Taking a look to their left they may notice the small sign within the window which seemed to be forever stuck on the side of open. Did the store ever shut?

 

Ground Floor

 

As one entered the small store, a strong scent of Bibliosmia would hit any of those who entered. It was as if this store was more of a library than what the sign stated just outside. The space within was bursting with books to the point it was difficult for one to move around with ease. The shelves at least seemed neatly organised as every section was neatly labelled and prices were labelled on those books that were for sale. Yet some held no price as it also seemed to be a library of sorts even more so as if people could read as they wished within the confines of the shop. The small seating area in the corner of the floor added to this allowing those who seeked to curl up with a good book to read.
