In Ex Libris you are a collector of rare and valuable books in a thriving fantasy city. The mayor has just announced that there is a new seat on the Village Council, namely that of the Grand Librarian. This prestigious and lucrative position will be awarded to the citizen with the most extraordinary library! Unfortunately, some of your book collection colleagues (more acquaintances, actually) are also candidates.

To outdo your competition, you must expand your personal library by sending your trusty assistants into town to find the most impressive books. Resources for the best books are scarce, so you'll have to defeat your opponents when they appear - especially if they match your library's secret focus area!

You only have a few days before the Mayor's Official Inspector comes to assess your library, so make sure your assistants get all your books on the shelves on time! She is strict and will use her Official Inspection Form to rate your library on several criteria, including alphabetical order, shelf stability, prominent works, and variety. And don't think she'll turn a blind eye to books the Council has banned! You'll need to plan wisely, use cunning tactics, and maybe use a little magic to outdo your opponents and become Grand Librarian!
