Constant Vigilance! O_O AWAKE! Kate squinted at the bookcase in front of her. She was pretty sure she'd found the non-fiction section. History, at least. The only problem was, she couldn't really tell which books were just plain history and which were about specific people.
It looked like she was just going to have to pick at random and hope whatever book it was proved informative. She had plenty to choose from. But it couldn't be too long or she'd never be able to carry it. Plus she couldn't put off her schoolwork for too long. But maybe…
There! That book looked like it was the perfect length. Maybe a little dusty, but old books smelled good. Standing on her tiptoes, Kate stretched and tried to reach the book. Not… quite… tall enough. Hmph. She needed a ladder. Kate walked purposefully down the aisle, gripped the nearest ladder, and pushed it along until she had returned to where the book she wanted was. Carefully - so carefully - she climbed onto the second rung of the ladder, gently slid the book off the shelf, and jumped off the ladder with a slight thump. Great Wizarding Events of the Twentieth Century. Excellent.
Cradling the book like a baby, Kate wandered to one of the nearby desks, plopped into the chair, and read for a bit before returning the book and leaving the library.
