  1. With the arrival of the lectern, I have been able to build and open the public 'Reading Room' (inspiration taken from New York's Rose main Reading Room) for the archives I have built on smp6, and we are open for book requests! Located at 12022@reading

    PM me to display a book from the Archives! (12022@archive)
    1200+ titles (note: certain books will not be displayed per authors request)


    We are always looking for new titles as well at the archive. if you have any written books we don not have, please contact raaynn. Donations also accepted if you have any you would be willing to give (books by all players are welcomed). donations can be sent via mail, or there is a donation chest located in the archive, left of the fireplace..



    Reading room is now open at 12022@reading

  2. That's a great looking build. I can hardly wait to explore it.

  3. Great build :)

    Can I please take a moment to appriciate the idea of putting maps on the ceiling as a decoration... I never thought of that, and I *might* want to steal it, at some point :p

    Also, I love the amount of modern philosophy in the quotes at the bookshelves... I wonder who suggested those :p

  4. Thanks Egeau, and of course you can 'steal' whatever design idea. My favourite new update is the fact item frames can be placed on any surface. Wish I had the patience to actually create the 'maps' to make the ceiling accurate to the library.. :D
  5. One suggested side project would be to include public domain works.

    Tech Specs
    if EMC.bookSizeMax >= minecraft.BookSize
    100 pages per book

    255 characters per page. Can count characters in text via Google or Bing

    Example

    page 1. 207 +2 characters for paragraph
    "A Boundless Moment" by Robert Frost

    He halted in the wind, and - what was that
    Far in the maples, pale, but not a ghost?
    He stood there bringing March against his thought,
    And yet too ready to believe the most.

    page 2. 156 c
    "Oh, that's the Paradise-in-bloom," I said;
    And truly it was fair enough for flowers
    had we but in us to assume in march
    Such white luxuriance of May for ours.

    page 3. 173 c
    We stood a moment so in a strange world,
    Myself as one his own pretense deceives;
    And then I said the truth (and we moved on).
    A young beech clinging to its last year's leaves.

    You can see how each stanza (paragraph) would take up 1 page each, as two in 1 page exceeds our limit.

  6. I do love this idea. Would be happy to include any written by players. There are actually some (shortened) books already in the collection
  7. Great build Raaynn! This may be what makes me come back to my home server, SMP6, in years! :D

    (To visit of course, haha)
