Men and women of Cove,
                                        It is my pleasure to announce that construction has finished on a building which I hope will serve as a central respository for books in Cove - Leontine House. Along with a large range of books - ever expanding - it also has reading and writing rooms. We also offer a number of services related to books;  we can, for a small fee, create you a copy of any of our books, or track down a certain book you are looking for.

More importantly, the Library will be accepting - and paying for - commissions of books. From time to time we will issue requests for books on a certain topic and permit any interested party to write a book on that topic [OOC note: Command-approved citizen tasks]. We will accept books on any topic and provided it meets standards if will be put into the library and you will be paid for your work.

Please find enclosed a map to the location of the library and a list of the stock we currently have.

Regards,
Ileana Leontine
Leontine House Librarian

There's a chest in the Literature section reserved for play scripts - hopefully including some of yours.
