[All bookmarks expand into a screen tablet as the communication goes live.]
Welcome to the Central Library. I know that many of you are confused and do not understand why you are here... so I will briefly greet you and give the answers I can for this point in time.
[The accented tone is even, but most of his face is covered by the dark fabric of his hood. However, he gives pause, allowing his audience to orient themselves.]
What you see around you, is the most extensive and thorough collection you have ever seen... or will ever again. Do not simply see them as books. They are far greater than that. As some of you may have noticed, it has fallen into disrepair and slowly it is dying.
[He lets the word linger a moment, his own voice drifting with a note of sadness.]
You have been brought here, because the Central Library needs your help to survive. Things will never be as they seem here... and you will encounter much strangeness during your stay. Be wary... the deeper you go into the decay, the higher the risk is. I will say no more on this for now. There are rooms to the end of the main hall on either side of the main door. Those smaller doors have some living space to accommodate you until the Library can slowly be revived. The center door... will lead you to a market place should you need food or supply. It is beyond logic or understanding... but you will find you will always have the correct currency when it is needed as the portal will change from time to time.
[Shaking his head, he bows it slowly in a silent thank you.]
Time always reveals itself as it flows. Please believe that you are needed here. Remember... do not harm the books.

But is it really that bad? I mean, they're just books.
Wouldn't it be better to put them in some sort of digital format?

Are they just books? To the simple eye, they look and feel like books...
In reality, they are more. You are in tune with nature, yes? Listen to them. I know that they will whisper to you, just take care which you listen to.

[He waved a hand.]
Not that I'm not going to help. I am.
I'm assuming the faster this gets fixed the faster we get home? While, I'm not too excited about returning to my current assignment, I do rather want to find my brother.

[He inclined his head respectfully for that.]
I thank you.
I should tell you that I can return you to the point in time from which you left, when you wish to leave. But I will tell you... what happens here will effect the reality of your universe as well.
