<span style="font-family:Goudy Old Style;color:#008080;font-size:large">Miller Library is the second in size of the three libraries at Miskatonic. James Miller was a highly successful mining entrepreneur who operated the largest number of lead mines in Great Britain. A noted philanthropist and benefactor of the arts, he donated the funds for building Miller Library when the university was founded in 1690. There is an iron safe in the basement that holds the notorious book, the Necronomicon. It is so dangerous, the lie was perpetuated that the book is only a fictional work. This was considered to be an excellent ruse to keep thieves at bay; nobody tries to steal what nobody believes exists. Disbelief in the volume's reality, as well as the dozens of wards put on the book and the place where it is kept, has preserved the precious volume all these decades. Miller Library is also home to the '''Miskatonic Arcane Studies Department''' and the University's jewel, the Special Collections: ancient and rare texts, manuscripts, diaries, handwritten correspondence and occult ephemera held in the climate-controlled archives.</span> | <span style="font-family:Goudy Old Style;color:#008080;font-size:large">Miller Library is the second in size of the three libraries at Miskatonic.
