"Hey... we both have a lot of books, right?"That was the conversation between two friends that sparked an idea. What if they found a place to put all their books where others could share and enjoy them? And thus, A Novel Place was born!

OOC: This is a casual, beginner-friendly RP venue. Our goalis to bring together new and old roleplayers alike by blending the coziness of a library setting with our own brand of eccentric for a truly unique RP experience.

Summer Reading Program

Currently ongoing!! Click here to find out more!

Book Club

Join our once-monthly book club where we discuss this month's chosen literature. The catch is... the book doesn't actually exist. Participants in the book club will improvise the plot of a story using only the title and a brief fictional synopsis. This can be as silly or as serious as participants want it to be! At the end of each book club, we will select the following month's book to read.
^{Rules/Notes:
Given the nature of this event, please don't suggest a book that actually exists or that your character has a personal connection to, unless you don't mind the plot being improvised. Because the stories are made up, so there is no way to get the story "wrong."Mature themes are allowed, but please avoid improvising VERY dark/taboo topics into books. Please participate at your own discretion.Book club is open for everyone! You do not have to have attended a previous book club to participate.}
May's book:
Lady Lilac Vol. 2: Flower in the Attic - After leaving behind her home, the titular Lilac finds herself in a strange new world working for a theater troupe. But perhaps there is more to this colorful band of characters than meets the eye...
(Note: The Lady Lilac series is a work of fiction, and any resemblance to any persons - alive, dead, or undead - is PURELY coincidental.)

Check-Out Mammet

Introducing our state-of-the-art check-out mammet! This mammet allows you to check books in and out during off hours (or when our employees are preoccupied elsewhere!). Simply scan your library card and front cover under the mammet's watchful gaze and your data will be recorded!Normal check-out services will also be available during open hours. (And please use them. Lavender will get sad otherwise.)

Self-Serve Snack Station

We offer a variety of cookies, tea, coffee, and other snacks for you to enjoy during your reading experience. Please be mindful around the books! No one likes crummy novels!

Library Cards

Create your own library card using the generator below.☆ For best results, use a square image (180 x 180 px) of your character's face.
☆ Screenshot/Snip to save.
☆ May not work on mobile. (Sorry!)
☆ If you'd prefer, you can also edit the template yourself!
☆ Please share your library cards in the screenshot channel on the Obsidian Blades Discord Server! We love to see them!!

IC RULES:
☆ Sign-up using the form here. You're welcome to participate on your own without signing up, but only sign-ups will be featured below!☆ Stamps will be awarded per chapter read, with chapter length determined by personal reading proficiency.☆ Readers of all skill levels welcome!☆ Report your recorded chapters at each library opening to one of our staff and we will update your card to reflect the number of chapters read.
OOC RULES:
☆ This is a fun, in-character roleplaying exercise! Stamps will be handed out based on how much you feel your character has read. As such, all prizes will be very small things, which may or may not have an item physically attached to them. (Ex: Cookies, bookmarks, etc)☆ If you are not able to make it to a library opening, you can report your updated chapters via discord/in-game tells, but rewards are only given out during library openings.
