Section In A Library Novels & Stories

she said, skeptically raising an eyebrow. The top floor of the library's restricted section was dark, haunting, and built entirely of maurium. There were maurium lamps scattered senselessly throughout the room without reason, sloppily hanging from wall hooks and set carelessly on shelves or tables, establishing an eerie purple glow throughout the presently deserted area. She glanced around the shadowed room. Bookcases filled with books, dust, and cobwebs lined the walls. There was a large table in the center with a mat on it along with a few stray books with pens and papers. There were piles of books on the ground surrounding the table and some of the shelves, some nearing the height of the

I followed him placing my hands in front of me taking in the library as the door slammed shut behind us. The floor was brown and cemented in brown squares. It had divisions, with lampstands for each section of wooden tables which had sand colored rug underneath. There were books on some of the tables which were voluminous, and this didn’t give a bigger justice to the library itself, whose ceilings extended high up. The books were on shelves which were created in several high and low areas, with books at every layer. Observing this, I followed the King who took a pause just as we got to the other end on the left.

No wonder she asked if she can locate where to place them. She moved her feet and started walking. She was quick to locate where the English textbooks were placed and she carefully inserted it in between the books. She then walked to the back of the library and her eyes scanned the names of each section. The back of the library was the quietest place, free from students and almost private. She walked further and finally saw the section she was looking for. She ran her fingers through the books and then placed the Biology textbook in its place. She breathed out and sucked her lower lips in before she made to leave but she suddenly stopped and turned her head to the side.

It was a lot bigger than I imagined, and the ceiling was a lot higher too. I could see a small section of the library dedicated to a reading area and another area reserved for children’s books. Smiling, I headed in, scanning the shelves for a book on hybrids or anything that contained information on hybrids. However, after a little while, it seemed like I couldn’t find anything and just when I was about to give up, I came across a row that said HYBRID. My face brightened with a smile, and I rushed for the section, but at that moment, someone stepped out of one of the intersections, and we collided, causing me to fall back.

I was the variable. We reached the pier near 42nd Street and moved through the shadows of the blackout. The city felt lawless, the air thick with the sound of distant sirens and breaking glass. We reached the massive lion-guarded entrance of the New York Public Library, the stone cold and imposing in the moonlight. "Stay behind me," Luciano whispered as we slipped through a side entrance Cassian had breached. We moved through the grand hallways, our footsteps echoing against the marble. We reached the Rose Reading Room—a massive, silent cavern of books and gold-leaf ceilings. Luciano moved toward the 'Historical Records' section, his fingers searching for the false panel his father had descr

A door, set into the stone at the end of the reference section, narrow, no handle visible from the front, the kind of thing you would miss if you were not looking for it specifically. She ran her fingers along the edge.

I had come down here because lying in the dark had stopped being useful and the library had always been the place I went when my mind needed somewhere to put itself. I pulled three texts I hadn't read yet and sat down. The first was a history of pack law. Dry, detailed, not what I needed. I set it aside. The second was a collection of documented case studies, supernatural medical presentations going back several centuries. I read two entries before realising I was reading without retaining anything and set that aside too. I sat for a moment with my hands flat on the table. Then I got up and went to the back of the library. The restricted section had a door I had noticed on my second day.
