On the main part of the beach is a sign! It simply says LIBRARY -> and seems to be pointing towards... the ocean. There's also a locker nearby, filled with diving gear.
...uh.
......ummmmm.
Well, if you go to take a look underwater, you'll see a path of subtly glowing lights along the ocean floor, leading a short distance away. If you start swimming, either by holding your breath or by using diving gear, you'll see a warmly lit building beneath the ocean, looking quite expansive. A helpful sign on the front displays the word: LIBRARY. It's not too deep underwater to worry about pressure or anything. It's also not too hard to swim down to, it doesn't take very long! It seems easier to swim here than anywhere else, even, if you need a bit of a magical boost to get inside...
The door is open, and you can enter; it looks like every book inside is perfectly preserved, despite being drenched. You can swim along the rows, sit down on a floating chair to enjoy the book you've found, or... if you keep going, you'll find the "restricted section", considering there's a sign stating it as such.
There's no librarian, however, so you can go on in undisturbed. It's a long hallway, punctuated with a spiral staircase.
And at the top of the staircase... is air!
A beautiful, cozy room with a magnificent tree growing from the center, with windows that show the ocean above. These books are all dry, so do be careful. This place looks abandoned, unlike the rest of the library, but you can still find some comfortable cushions nearby to curl up next to.
All books in the library are books that can be found in character canons but only when that character is nearby. (EXAMPLE: Miguel could only find the book "Princess Mina of the Fallen Nation" when in the presence of a Genshin Impact character, but he could find the Iliad or something like that). The restricted section has a large amount of romance novels and poetry, and all smut can be found there, but it's not exclusive!
(Please check in with players before fourth walling them)
You can find history books, fiction and nonfiction, recipe and building guides, magazines, newspapers, etc!
(You are also free to MAKE UP books!)
You are free to check out books by signing for them at the front desk (the books will not leave the premises unless you do this, like a magical stream will carry them out of your hands if you try to steal) and can get them taken out for three IC days. Every day they are late, a list of your overdue books will slip under your bedroom door, complete with a picture of Nana's despairing face. If you return books on time, you will get a little gift-wrapped thank you card with a couple of book-shaped chocolates that advertise that they give you pleasant dreams of your favourite novels after consuming one.

SUBMERGED LIBRARY
