mmjinae 79 Share Posted August 30, 2023 LA BIBLIOTECA CITTADINA ILLUMINARE LA PAROLA Morning sunlight shimmered through stained windows, casting the entire room aglow with ochre warmth. You could still hear the muffled, waking sounds of Portoregne from outside: Armada guards taking the morning shift, the hustle of bakers preparing their loaves, the splashes of the water well. But in here, in this room, the troubles of the city seemed far behind you. The musty smell of parchment and ink lingered in the air, leaving ephemeral touches upon the shelves, the tomes, the furniture -- even you. Hundreds of years of knowledge hugged the walls, snuggled cozily inside their rickety bookshelves. Something caught your eye; an old friend from long ago, bound in leather and tied with twine, whose literary contents still lingered in your mind. You approached it gingerly, carefully, and you found your fingers latching onto the book. Slowly, ever so slowly, you pulled it from the shelf. La Biblioteca Cittadina -- the Citizen's Library -- is now open as the first public library in the city of Portoregne. Nestled cozily in the center of the city at Johanne's Lane I, the library is the prime location for reading, studying, or general socialization. Its catalogue boasts a wide variety of subjects, ranging from voidal theory, medicine, poetry, natural sciences, and alchemy, the latter of which being Biblioteca Cittadina's specialty, as well as many more. Please drop by for a visit, whether to peruse its stacks, chat with old friends, or simply enjoy the cute, homey ambiance. You may also make a donation to our ever-growing collection; we are always looking for more books, tomes, and scrolls to add to our catalogue. It is our goal at La Biblioteca Cittadina to open the gateways of knowledge and learning to all, regardless of social or economic standing. We strive to help further the enlightenment of not only the citizenry of Portoregne, or just the Kingdom of Balian, but the entire world. Please join us on our journey to spread knowledge to the world. Illuminare la parola; help us illuminate the world.
