			== Utilities ==
			The Library also houses many additional rooms devoted to utility functions. They are as follows:
			*Lobby: Here is where the players can hang out, and turn in books for archiving. This is usually the first room visitors see.
			*Main Chamber: The central tower of the library is where the newest publications can be found, and also connects to all the other rooms.
			*Cartography: This tower is where maps of various sorts are kept. This will likely become more useful after the 1.11 update.
			*Enchanting & Brewing: This tower serves as the place where players can enchant and brew potions. Some materials are provided courtesy of the library faculty.
			*Anvil Passageway: This small room houses two anvils, and connects the reading rooms to the Sub-Chamber.
			*Sub-Chamber: This underground chamber serves as the hub for the Sub-Utility rooms. There is a wall of furnaces on the south side that can be used.
			*Beetroot & Melon Farm: This room grows beetroot and Melons. Not very library-like I know.
			*Head Librarian's Quarters: This room is where the Head Librarian studies and sleeps.
			*Nether Wart Farm: This room grows Nether Wart, and connects to the mine.
			*Mine: This extensive mine operates at diamond level, and also houses the Mooshroom Farm.
			*Mooshroom Farm: This room spawns Mooshrooms at a tolerable rate.
			*Sugar Cane Farm: This farm outside the library grows Sugar Cane, which is used mainly for paper.
			*Antaka Prison Ship: This ship - found on the coast just north of the library - houses 10 convict librarians. These guys offer enchanted books of various sorts in return for shiny emeralds.

	While a bit more modest-looking than the [[Greater Library]] of Avalon, the Grand Library is a much more effective houser of knowledge, no longer constrained by the pre-written book days. It currently consists of a main facility, built in a monastery-like fashion, with a separate Sugar Cane farm, and plans for more facilities. The main building is built primarily with stone brick and wood of oak and dark oak; forming a main tower, with two off-shoot towers. The first off-shoot contains the lobby, as well as the cartography section. The second off-shoot provides enchanting and brewing services. The main tower itself is where all the books are stored, with the newest publications on the main floor, and the rest of the books in the basement levels. The rest is really just decoration.
