The Underground Library

Date of opening: December 17th 1905

Location: London, England

Brief history: Constructed in 1905 in homage to the Second Gang's mythical Underground Library, considered one of the lost wonders of SPQR2Gang. Now houses the world's largest collection of written SPQR2Gang material.

Layout: The library consists of three floors. Entering leads down into a hallway with two doors, one on the left, and one on the right, and a staircase downwards straight ahead. The left door leads into the section of the library housing some of the newer SPQR2Gang works, post-unification of the Gang (from the past century and a half or so), organized by theme. Entering the room on the left, past the sea of works, there is a small staircase which leads upwards into an upper area devoted in particular to quintography. The right door from the entrance is an office for library staff. Also on the right is a lavatory.

Descending, the works kept in the library increase in age. The second floor again leads into two rooms, the left room from the bottom of the staircase containing works from the immense writings of the Second Gang, and the right room, significantly larger than the left room, storing works from the period of the Great Fracturing. Each of the works in the library are arranged via the Doovy Denary Schema.

The bottom floor contains a single room storing preserved originals and unorganized new arrivals.
