I forgot to mention, but I named my character "Nebby Widdershins" (they were going to be a gnome rogue, but I was too slow at character creation and got a pre-generated halfling rogue instead… but I liked the name too much to change it).
Please steal it, it's too good a name for just one one-shot.

Sidenote: As a queer person, the libraries-as-solution thing feels especially weird right now, given the increase in book bans and soft censorship.
Which some librarians actively and enthusiastically participate in, and many others enable. We are not all heroes.

There are plenty of communities in the US that do not have libraries.
Libraries are chronically underfunded.
Many, many libraries are not responsive to the needs of their communities. Some are actively hostile to significant parts of their communities.
