islara public library

The Islara Public Library used to be both a loved and hated place, with its old church like structure. The old stone outside has been around since the late 1800's, when a small village used to stand where Islara now sits. This church converted into a library is filled to the brim with thousands of books, now forgotten and decaying on their oak shelves. The deep red carpets, and tall wood-paneled walls help bring the place together, along with the old painted glass windows, most of which are now shattered from years old neglect. Mold and moss can even be found growing on some of the books closer to the windows, and even vines grow through the windows, looking for new places to hold onto as they climb ever upward. Old wooden desk, and oak tables with matching deep-red cushioned chairs are scattered around. The main desk is a wide, solid oak construction where a computer still sits, broken and deteriorating by the day. Near the far back wall, a row of computers in similar condition can be found with their wires chewed, rats more often than not calling the insides home. Birds also now call this place home, as well as what ever happens to wander in from the outside. Though, even in its deteriorated state, the public library is still quite a stunning place.
