History

Prior to the outbreak, the Weary Library housed many rare and ancient secular and non-secular texts. These texts were located in the lower levels of the library, which have been converted from catacombs to study rooms for the modern scholars. Many of these manuscripts have been sealed off in a climate controlled environment. Scholars from all over the globe have come to study here as it is one of the most complete collections of manuscripts. Also housed in the Weary is an extensive collection of Art History books and theatrical scripts. It is rumored that original scripts and illustrations by Shakespeare are housed within her walls.

The Weary Library is part of Malton's interlibrary loan system. Sadly, some of her magnificent collection is trapped at other libraries across the country, as well as the Weary "acquiring" many books from other collections.

In keeping with the spirit of literacy, the Weary has quite the collection of "best sellers" as well as rare occultism texts, chemistry reference books. Many readers come to the Weary, for the shear splendor of her collection and the variety of books held within the walls.
