The Cat is the Non-Fiction Librarian at

the_central_library . Currently he is responsible for both his section of the Library and the caretaker of the Fiction section. More information will be learned about the Cat as life continues on at the Library.

1. Cupid's Arrows. With this option a patron will find a bow and quiver filled with golden arrows. When the being picks up these items, a strange transformation will occur. He or she will take on the rule of Cupid. They will be overcome with the urge to find the other patrons and to hit them with these mystical arrows. On contact, the arrow will disappear in a cloud of glittery dust, leaving no injury but the patron will fall in love with the first person he or she sees.

2. Secret Admirers. Valentine's day cards have started appearing in the Library. The messages can be simple or elaborate. They might describe the thoughts and wishes of someone who is not brave enough to confess his or her feelings to the recipient or the card might be a message from home. Each will be somehow connected to another patron (either a message from them directly or their wish for a message from home to be sent to someone else). The recipient can attempt to track down the sender.

3. Mysterious Candy. There can be many different possibilities for this option. This can be like the food in Wonderland that makes people taller or smaller, the candies in Harry Potter that move on their own or have strange effects on whoever tastes them, or be like the 'Band Candy' in Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the patron's wild side is unleashed. These are just a few suggestions. Players can decide which fits their muse best.

4. Kiss Kiss. Suddenly, a patron has an overwhelming urge to kiss their crush or the person they love. When they do floaty hearts appear above someone's head and fireworks appear if the feelings are reciprocated.

5. A Surprise Visit from Someone from Home. This option is to allow new patrons to visit the Library. It can be combined with the other options or it can be the traditional arrival in the Library.

6. Slumber Party! Valentine's day isn't just for lovers. It can celebrate friendship as well. With this option, the Library will provide patrons with comfortable pajamas, board games, and take out from the patron's favorite restaurant. Those who brought electronics to the Library may find that the devices have mysteriously turned on and are playing whatever media files were stored on the device. (After all, what's a slumber party without a movie or music?)

Once upon a time an enchantment crept through the Library, wending through the stacks and slipping amongst the shelves. Those that were touched by this classical magic might find themselves seeing things that they had thought were impossible or finding themselves bursting into song. Some may find themselves wishing for love or adventure, perhaps even both. While others find themselves acting as vagabond or prince.

With the enchantment came a menagerie of flora and fauna, but not to worry. Gardens bloom with fanciful flowers and the darker aisles begin to resemble a forest instead of the more mundane shelves. Strange birds break up the Library's hush and mice scurry from shelf to table, whispering of lost Princesses. These woodland creatures are not to be feared... unless someone has stumbled into the more Grimm areas of the Fiction section. Although the spell is only beginning, the patrons touched by its magic may act strangely or find themselves slightly - or more than slightly - changed by the enchantment.

Remember that this is only be beginning of our Tale. Other wonders and mysteries will soon appear...
