The library is a very large building in southern Faethaven where the learned and the curious gather. It is made from a clean-looking pale stone, and is surrounded by ornate pillars that help to support the roof. It needs that support- the building is covered in huge, clear glass windows that let in light for readers during all times of the day.
The library is lined, filled, and covered in books from one end of it to the other. The building started small, containing only books rescued from the old Civilization or written during the trek across the wastes. After Faethaven was established however, people began writing and recording things again, and generally logging their volumes into the library when they died. Additions have been made to the library generationally, making the library a sprawling complex.
Anyone can sit in the library and read for the day- as long as they do not make noise or upset the librarian's sorting system. People with proper credentials are allowed to take books from the library for short periods. Some books are to valuble to be taken away however, so the library added a series of workshops to its eastern side where mechanics can tinker with referance books in hand. Workshops are hard to rent, as they are in high demand from inventors and philosppher, but its not impossible.
