Description

The Armstead Library is a public library located in the suburb of Rolt Heights along the border with Pescodside to the east.

Though the location of Armstead Library has not changed, it was rebuilt in 1976 after a public protest caused a small fire to break out. Rather than simply rebuild it, the floorplan was renovated to accommodate modern (at the time) computers in an effort to close the gap between generations. While noble, this dream was only realized for a brief decade until early in the turn of the century. After Malton was quarantined, most of the computers were looted, leaving the library as it once was: a haven for books in the old quarter of Rolt Heights.

Mandate

None, it's a library. Go read a book! This is a no-PK zone. Anyone caught Pking will be added to the Burchell Arms Regulars Blacklist.

Barricade Policy

This building should be Very Strongly (VS+2) barricaded at all times. This is in accordance with the barricade plan set forth by the Burchell Arms Regulars, who routinely monitor the barricade level for this building. This building is meant to serve as a shelter for Malton's inexperienced survivors and entry point into other nearby fortified buildings.

Survivors who find the building's barricades below their assigned level are asked to assist in raising them back up in order to help ensure the safety of all the survivors staying inside the building. Any survivor found raising or lowering the barricades may be directly "put to the question" by any member of the B.A.R. present at that time. If this happens the accused survivor is required to present a valid reason for their actions or be labeled a zombie spy/death cultist and be judged accordingly.

Survivors are reminded that should any member of the B.A.R find the barricades raised higher that Very Strongly without any apparent danger to the building or area they have the authority to lower the barricades back down to Very Strongly in order to restore access to the building from the outside.
