Foyle sat behind the desk in front of the main door into the library. She straightened up the papers and started to double check her records.

Jordan entered the library. "Excuse me Ms. Foyle, but do you have any good books on Multiple Personality Disorder?" he asked. It was the same question he asked at least twice a month, every time after Dave took over.
Foyle smiled, "Do you want a more historical or current book? One focusing on the mortals our one that discusses gods? Causes, descriptions, or treatments?"
Emmett walked into the library and walked over to a bookcase and skimmed through the titles.
Emmett smiled at Foyle, "Have anything on the Chimera with a lot if info?"
"Actually we do. Jordon, while you are thinking, please stay here. Emmett, please follow me," Foyle requested and started walking towards the right, the more 'mythological' section.
"On the right side of the library is the literature by those who know of the gods," Foyle narrated for future reference, "You may want a more mortal perspective in some cases. That is on the opposite side," she turned to the far back wall, "Here is the creature section. It's alphabetized by name of creature with all encompassing books at the end," Foyle paused "Chimeras are here," she gestured to about five books. She took one down, "Adelie is an excellent creature expert. Her book about Chimeras is one of the best," Foyle handed 'Confusion of Chimeras Cleared' "We tend to like alliteration"
"hello, I'm looking for a book on whatever you have, anything interesting?" Rachel asked Foyle.
"I hope that helped," Foyle turned around, "You have to be more specific. This is a rather large library. Fiction or non?"
"Well how about a book on monsters?" asked Rachel.
"Well," Foyle said striding to where she just was, "This whole section is devoted to monsters and creatures. The "Minoan Minotaur" is quite a good read. So is "Milady Medusa" which talks about all three Gorgon sisters, not just Medusa," She said pulling the two off the shelves
Jordan approached Mrs. Foyle. "I'll take this, please," he said, showing the fiction fantasy book The Atlantis Complex to her. "Could I take it out?"
"There's that and if you need more help just come by and ask," Foyle said with a smile. "Good choice in fantasy, that series is quite good. And of course you can take it out just follow me," She walked back to her desk and started flipping through papers. She took one out wrote a note on it, and turned it to face Jordon. "Write your name here, the name of the book and author here, and sign it here."
"i'll take the 'milady medusa' please " said Rachel.
"Come over here then. Sign off for it here with your name and its name along with the author and don't forget to sign it," Foyle said gleefully. Another of her favorite books are being checked out.
"Alright, thanks, is there any other book you would recommend?" asked Rachel.
"Of course there is," Foyle grinned, "Antthing by Herodotus
... Is good. Thucydides is better. Both of whom are historians if that interests you"
"oh yes! I would like to see the selection pf books by them," answered Rachel.
Foyle grinned, "Both of these authors are a bit hard to read but they WERE written a thousand years ago," she walked across to the other wing of the library "Both of these authors were mortals. However, Herodotus has a version that is more accurate as he discusses the gods and Thucydides was a more 'believable' author to 'modern audiences' as he does not. Here we are," Foyle gestured to the shelf behind her. "We have all of their works including a couple drafts and some 'lost' works"
