The library has two floors. The entrance, on the ground floor, is a small room that has been partitioned off from a larger house owned by a book-loving Rubi native. It has one front window with heavy curtains and a cushioned window seat, three floor-to-ceiling bookshelves in dark wood (mostly empty at present), and a pair of comfortable dark green armchairs with a tall lamp and a short table standing between them. Patrons are encouraged to read the shorter, more delicate works (such as letters and poetry) in-house. There is also a small desk and chair for whoever is playing librarian to sit at, and behind those is the opening to the root cellar.
The root cellar is a dug out basement with a makeshift work space for binding and preserving hand-written books and other documents. There are a few rudimentary shelves holding boxes of paper and anything considered too valuable or delicate to display above, and in one corner a simple folding screen marks off a living area, a bed with a trunk at the end and a pitcher of water for washing.
Patrons can borrow a book for one week (with extensions as needed). Louis will chase them up telepathically if they're late returning.
