A number of additions have been made to The Chamber Library since it was first featured in the destination guide about a month ago. Like me, you might have wondered what’s so great about reading classics on notecards. It’s so much more than that.
Nothing seems to have been replaced, rather an expansion has happened, a sort of tunneling down for more floors with additional authors and areas to hang out. Some of the added writers are John Keats, Charles Dickens, Eleanor H Porter, Washington Irving, short stories by James Joyce and Andy Adams and children’s tales by Beatrix Potter.
People can gather to discuss works they like. Now that most of us aren’t being forced to read this stuff in school, it could be a reintroduction that could lead to reading more from our real life local libraries.
There are already 35 pieces on the shelves by SL residents. You simply click on the shelf and a menu pops up for selection. The submission instructions are near the landing and are simple. Since Storm Septimus keeps tinkering with the library, allow some time for the submission to be taken care of. Just like the magic of uploading art and photos to put on gallery walls, your writing could be on the shelves of a library along with beloved writers.
There are different themed reading and hangout areas to suit different moods. There are closed off spaces that look like room for future development.
I like seeing virtual libraries and take the time to visit when I wander by in my travels, although I don’t think I’ve ever posted about any of them. Many have been around for a long time.
I hope The Chamber Library will also be around for a long time.

This is really cool! I knew about the Chamber and for some reason have not visited. Your photos and explanation really make me want to go see it. In Rl I read a lot it will be cool to see what is missing and maybe add it . Thank you : )
Yes, while it’s well visited now, it may be overlooked by some who would enjoy it.
I haven’t looked at the writings submitted by SL residents yet. I just took a quick peek at your blog and you seem to post mostly photos (gorgeous ones!) instead of a lot of writing. In time, maybe more writers will submit their own work.

I met Storm in her library last month and now I regularly drop in for a chat, she likes it when people blog about her place… she says it “Makes me all warm and fuzzy :D” \o/
Great! Her enthusiasm and friendliness even shine through her group notices.
how wonderful and imaginative! and I love the slightly spooky feel. Ok it’s on my list!! thanks Pearl.
And I didn’t even show the hangout area near the horror section. đŸ™‚
