    That'd be a bit more fun than just turning up to a room and having 10,000 things to click on and read.

    What if you could "collect" books for the library? There were books in v1 that you could find and read, but it didn't really do anything. What if there are tons more scattered all about the world and as you read them you "pick them up and bring them back to the library" thus allowing for us to have a convenient place to access anything we'd already found without just being inundated with more information than even the Moosiest of us could handle at once.

    And maybe special library-only books could appear as a reward for completing a "set." Like you talk to the librarian and he/she says, "Oh, an adventurer brought this book by a while ago. It looked similar to some of the ones you'd brought in, I thought you might be interested." ..And then they hand us the final volume of the encyclopedia we'd been collecting and it drops some crazy lore bombs on us and... and... and...

    You know how levequests are marked once you've done them at least one time? What if every time you completed a Necrologos levequest, you were able to recover a few of pages from the destroyed possessed copy, thus helping the Library build a non-possessed, complete version of the text? You could get rewards for completing certain sets of "chapters." Maybe there'd be a low-level set of Necrologos vanity gear... or a Necrologos minion that followed you around like the books in Nier? (Great title, lore-wise, published by SE, if you haven't played it.)
