Though the guild of mages keeps a very good library, the Books of the Mages in Bloodhelm is a great place to get those hard to find books and rare tomes. This three story affair is tended by three mages who love simply to care for books, read books, and find more books. Though they are powerful mages in their own right (Chester is actually the head of Bloodhelm's Mage Brigade) they take great pride in their books. Chester, Veronica and Theodore have been fast friends for years, Veronica and Theodore actually marrying once they got their noses out of their books long enough. They enjoy sharing (and selling) their wares and are always eager to help people find something.
They employ many magical protections upon their building, so theft has not been a problem. They also have several burly bodyguards who they pay well and are respected by. The three live in the basement of the building, finding it hard to leave their "babies" for too long. They are around thirty years old, Chester very charismatic and good looking, Veronica and Theodore more homely looking but still beloved by Chester.
In game terms this would be a good place to have the players find that small tidbit of information they need to go onto the next step of the adventure or even to start an adventure. Say the mage is researching a spell but comes upon some interesting hidden fact amongst his research. Happy Gaming.
