I13DT - What Libraries Are For

Up until recently maintained as a museum, the childhood home of the Braddock family has been pressed into service as additional housing and classroom space for the Institute. Additionally, the increased demands have led to the main ballroom being converted into a cafeteria for both the Institute and those University students on a meal plan. Student reactions have been mixed, and reports of paranormal activity are as of yet unsubstantiated.

I13DT - What Libraries Are For

The next shelf over, Professor Roland Sackville was looking through the books as well, gathering information for another droning lecture of some sort.

After a moment, he looked at Miranda, curiously.

Miranda pulled down a book on Egyptian mythology and opened it, skimming a few pages as she tried to decide whether this might be a worthwhile book.

"Information... ideas maybe," she said, turning her head to look at the speaker. "But no, nothing directly specific."

"It's just so odd to see a student actually interested in this section of the library.

I'm Professor Sackville. You must be Miranda?"

"I've been sleeping well since I got here, but thank you for the recommendation," she said, smiling. "I do intend to make it though. Miss Weaver said I might learn some interesting and possibly useful things in history class."

"No, I see perfectly fine without them. I can prove it." She closes the book she'd been holding, reading off the title.
