You open the door and instantly feel as if you're smarter. The Library is a place to really get down with a good book. The air has a touch of old leather and mustiness to it. Velvet chairs the color of royalty flank a comforting, inviting couch in the same rich fabric. From ceiling to floor, it's books, books, books, all organized according to the Dwoozie decimal system. Soft lighting from two tasteful lamps gives the entire room an ecru tint -- very easy on the eyes. On your left, a sturdy stand supports a huge book, easily the equivalent of several learned tomes all in one volume. A bust of someone who was probably very wise seems to be pointed toward one bookshelf in particular, which seems to be in the history section.
