On your many excursions into this magical place, you have often ignored this dinky section of the Library.
However, whether intentional or by happenstance, you have finally decided to explore this aisle. After walking for several minutes, you make your way to Row 3 of Section 15634. You notice a collection of articles and books, all of which gathered nicely on a shelf just above your head.
You stand on the tips of your toes and extend your arm, reaching haphazardly towards the collection. After nudging it softly for a few seconds, you're able to knock it down to the ground. After a loud thump and a prayer that nothing was damaged, you retrieve what appears to be an old newspaper clipping and begin reading its contents…

How odd, you think to yourself.
With your curiosity aptly piqued, you decide to take a look at the rest of the books below your feet. Each are decorated in a variety of colors and designs.

"Huh," you say, flipping the page over in case you missed something. Was it really that simple?
The sounds of fluttering above indicates that you've spent enough time in this section. After cleaning up the mess of pages that still lay on the floor, you decide that it's time to leave.
