Veritas Deck Layout: Difference between revisions

::Though not as extravagant as the library on {{class|Cardiff}} or {{c|Galaxy}} vessel-there is no wood paneling here covering the bulkheads for instance—the library aboard ''Veritas'' still offers a cozy sanctuary for book lovers. The ship’s librarian is a middle-aged human woman by the name of Rosemary. She acquired from a bookshop on Esperance a rare hard copy of ''The Happy Return'', the first of the Horatio Hornblower novels written by C. S. Forester. It is proudly on display along the wall near the library’s modest reading area, along with the other few physical books and documents that are carefully placed behind a thin plate of transparent aluminum. One such physical artifact is a rare paper map of the Shoals from an early atlas of star charts, published before the Federation even existed. Early colonists and traders often kept a physical atlas as a back up to the virtual copies. Of course, in this day and age, these physical tokens are more ornamental. The vast majority of the library’s collection is found in the ship’s computer, and so the bulk of the library is devoted to terminals and alcoves for study.
