Okay, so i will explain how stuff works
So the library itself is unchanged in terms of you build it
but now you must pass the test by having the best of each wing
lobby = 1tp, scholar's atheneum = 4 tp's
rare book section = 7
so very good rewards
each wing can hold a finite amount of books
that you as the owner of the library put in, other players don't put them in themselves
lobby has 200 books, rare book section holds just 25
the book you add will have a quality rating, this is based on how well it was crafted in the first place
the score you get for adding the book is based on different factors. Namely how unique is it
Books from the same faction members will suffer a 1/25th penalty for each book already in that wing for that faction
Books from the same author will suffer a 1/2 penalty for each book already in that wing for that author
and Books from the same region will suffer a 1/4 penalty for each book already in that wing for the same region
so basically the first book you put in a wing will always score 100%
but follow up books quite possibly will score less, and if you keep trying to put in crap books they will score less and less
you get to see the score the book will be worth before adding it to the wing.
Books are tradable until they are put into the library.
Quality of book you create is based on the materials that you put into it when crafting it. The more pages and the better quality  
the better
than the better the quality cord you use to tie the leaves together (hence linen cord)
the better the quality of the cover material
and the better the foil material
etc.
there are lots of options, each option can have a positive warping effect on the quality of the book
once you've made a blank book, you or someone else can take it to a region and author it, it takes 10 minutes
and 1/3rd the quality of the book in ink and a quill
the ink is consumed
each week, the best wing wins, so there are 7 awards a week
and you can compete in all of them at the same time
btw, authoring a book takes 10 minutes
where you can do nothing else
except chat
