ITEMEXCHANGE BROKEN CURRENTLY (due to 1.8). LIBRARY OUT OF SERVICE UNTIL THIS MESSAGE REMOVED

I am pleased to announce the opening of a fully public library in the U3P (united provinces of the , ) nether territory! The front doors are open to everyone, and there is no library card. Instead a diamond is your library card -- each book requires a 1d security deposit to check out temporarily, which you will get back when returning it to its chest, using ItemExchange.

Please note that this is not a circulation library! The diamonds are for security purposes only, not long term lending. Please do not remove any books from the library area (mountaintop), or this will be considered criminal theft. The garden area is part of the library and is fine for books.

Our library entrance is located at 1,540, 1,000 in the nether. The easiest way to get there is to travel to the U3P Portal station, which is connected by rail to the Breslau/Mt. Augustana line (just keep scooting forward at the Breslau stop). The portal has private permissions, but just take the nearby minecart lift and follow the signs to the east across the garden and obsidian field nearby.

Our collection has 177 books available to the public, with an online card catalog for ease of finding books and checking ahead of time if you are looking for a particular title (I'm in the process of adding 11 very recent ones). I believe this is the largest publicly available collection on civcraft: http://tinyurl.com/u3plibrary
