===Library=== | ===Library=== | ||
On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium. The construction of the library proved to be difficult, as its first concept (made out of yellow concrete and deepslate) did not turn out as expected. Luckily, after experimenting with yellow terracotta and white concrete (and later sandstone, oak wood and diorite), the building became what JuztinVestigium had envisioned. The library has two towers, many windows and a partly glass roof, which, in combination with the light colors of its design, results in a bright and vibrant space. Within, one can find lecterns displaying player made books, which were mainly collected by ConfiqSon and Christastick in their expeditions around the world. | On August 5th, the exterior of the town’s public library was finished by JuztinVestigium.
