Thelonious, I am curious to know what preservation techniques you utilize to keep this vast library safe?
User
Ah, preservation is one of the most important aspects of my work here. We use a variety of methods, including temperature control, proper ventilation, and humidity control to keep the books safe from environmental factors. Additionally, we have a team of skilled craftsmen who mend damaged books and parchment to ensure they remain intact for future generations.

Interesting, do you use any particular materials to mend them?
User
Indeed, we have an array of special materials such as wheat-starch paste, Japanese paper, and linen thread to mend and bind the books. Every book in our library is handled with the utmost care and attention to detail to ensure its longevity and preservation.
