Well, that does bring up the questoin of what you consider to be a library. If you don't trust this definition, what is a library?

Hmm. Isn't changing information to suit your own purposes exactly what the Librarians do? Isn't that why we oppose them?

Not a library...an Archive. There is a difference... must i use your librarian propaganda against you?

The only difference that I can see is that archive materials are usually primary sources.  This is not the case in the royal archive soooooo it is a library.
