Eight:

The book held stories of peasants, in a land called Shelfla. These peasants, and their handler, seemed to be able to defy space and time- they could hop in and out of books, return from the dead, and save other planets. Could they save other worlds entirely? Travel fully to other dimensions? Could they come to the library, and help Hawthorne answer their questions? Hawthorne pondered these things, and, as if they had asked for it out loud, a paper and pen seemed to roll out from under the bookshelf, ready for Hawthorne to write a letter. And so Hawthorne did. This letter was not fully what Hawthorne wanted to say, words seemed to jump out at them as they wrote, and the Library would whisper things, guiding them to the right way to request a Narrator, and these dimension bending peasants.

Read an exciting book.


Nine:

Hawthorne signed the letter off, placed the money that the Library had left for this task in the envelope, and sealed it with a deep green wax seal. The Library opened the window for Hawthorne, and the letter was taken with the wind. The Library could not control the wind, and so they could only hope that these peasants got the letters, and the story. This was, of course, a new mission, told in the only way a child who had only known books and a Library who had only been books knew how to tell. As the Library shut the window, another door opened somewhere else on the floor, and Hawthorne knew their time was up. Either the peasants would follow the instructions, and they'd make it to this dimension, or the Library and Hawthorne would have to find a new plan.

Read a book with green in the cover.
