Oh, neither have I; I'm sure you're right about the Teonaht National
Library,
located in Tsorelai Mundya in Eksil Tegriaht, the circle of university
learning.
Some of the books stray into our libraries and disappear again, much to
the
rage and frustration of scholars. I have a new Kernu dictionary which
emerged
in my office recently. I've got it on a chain so that it won't
disappear. ;-)
