The Library
------------
A place for the crew to go, relax, and enjoy a good book.
Aspiring authors can even self publish and, if they're lucky
convince the on-staff Librarian to submit it to the Archives
to be chronicled in history forever - some say even persisting
through alternate dimensions.

// Ideas for the future
// ---------------------
// - Visitor's computer should be able to search the current in-round library inventory (that the Librarian has stocked and checked in)
// -- Give computer other features like an Instant Messenger application, or the ability to edit, save, and print documents.
// - Admin interface directly tied to the Archive DB. Right now there's no way to delete uploaded books in-game.
// -- If this gets implemented, allow Librarians to "tag" or "suggest" books to be deleted. The DB ID of the tagged books gets saved to a text file (or another table in the DB maybe?).
// The admin interface would automatically take these IDs and SELECT them all from the DB to be displayed along with a Delete link to drop the row from the table.
// - When the game sets up and the round begins, have it automatically pick random books from the DB to populate the library with. Even if the Librarian is a useless fuck there are at least a few books around.
// - Allow books to be "hollowed out" like the Chaplain's Bible, allowing you to store one pocket-sized item inside.
// - Make books/book cases burn when exposed to flame.
// - Make book binder hackable.
// - Books shouldn't print straight from the library computer. Make it synch with a machine like the book binder to print instead. This should consume some sort of resource.
