[X] Security
[X] Holy

Either way it'll be a library sacred to Ranald :)

I love the idea of Security's ability to convince people that their access level is the highest access level, and that's something we're not going to get without a focus on it.

Yeah, both of these are extremely tempting. I will check in later to see if I need to actually decide between them, but this will do for now.
 
Nobody has yet pointed out that the title of Qrech's book is a reference to The Loathsome Ratmen And All Their Vile Kin, a WHF book which notionally exists in the fiction of the setting and, here's the important part, was published in 2313, a hundred and fifty years ago, and so would be known to Mathilde (I assume it's one of our Imperial Skaven books) and thus probably to Qrech.

Qrech is deliberately trolling the academic establishment with the title of his book. I am so goddamn proud of him.
I recognised the reference, but I didn't know that the book was already published in-setting! What a fun thing to find out that's made me enjoy the update even more.
 
And this is the unique bonus only available because the Head Librarian is a Grey Lady Magister. The main benefits of this that I see are that having a more segregated level of access will make it a lot easier to convince various guilds (especially dwarven guilds) to share some of their knowledge for the Library. Plus, the aesthetic of having a super double-plus secret vault that we can put the Liber Mortis in.

My rough personal preference list goes something like:

Order>Comfort=Preservation>Security>Capacity>Holy
It also sounds like a great way to end up with entire portions of the library lost mythical after the last living person to know where they are pperishes
 
Comfort and Holy sound fun so I like them most. Order sounds like it could be fun, like if it uses machines or runes or magic to keep things orderly, but I don't know. The rest sound uninteresting to me.

A grand library on a Dwarfhold. I can't see better focus than this. May change later if those two are the top.
 
[X] Comfort
[X] Holy

Maybe not the optimal choices, but certainly the ones I find most interesting.
 
[X] Order

Order is a high priority. Information does no one any good if they can't find it. Will leave it at this for now.

[X] Comfort

Edit: Adding Comfort as a show of support for that option.
