Libraries! Do we want them! Where do we want them!?

[Glamurio]

I'm a fan of giving the crew more public-access places to Hang (god I want every map to have a public garden so bad)

Technically every map has the owlery, nothing stopping you from putting down some plant trays there and planting stuff. Though I agree that the ability to have more natural soil would be neat.

The idea is neat, but giving it to the chaplain and removing the chapel is kinda... "Eh"

Sure the chapel does have the bookshelf most of the time and the book printer, but... I never felt like they belong there.
Donut 3 has a sorta library but no one uses it....

This is the big one here. Libraries are cool, in theory. We have a library on Donut3 and it doesn't see much usage, perhaps because it's a bit out of the way but still. I think that if we added libraries, people would flock there for a while because it's new, and then continue to ignore it. There needs to be, imo, some kind of mechanical reason why people would want to be there.

Books and bookshelves are great, perhaps even writing new books with many of the things not properly documented anywhere safe for the wikipedia.
