Between the Covers

[twilightpony]

The winter semester at Celestia's School for Gifted Unicorns is in session and Moondancer gave her Haycartes lesson. She taught both the standard Haycartes spell which allows you to be fully immersed in the text, and her variant that allows a pony to visit books from the same edition and printing. It was a great success. They had her speaking in the largest auditorium in the School -- the indoor polo court, and the stands were packed full. But there is a downside. Ponies have been using the spell to read books other ponies have taken off the shelf instead of waiting their turn. Now Moondancer can't read her books at the library any more. She's opened some books to find up to three ponies trotting between the covers. The worst are ponies offering their opinion on the book's contents even before she's had a chance to read it. The only solution is to check the books out and take them home to read them.

I'm glad it went well, but I hope that issue there can be sorted out.

You're telling me! Can you imagine just how distracting that would be? I'm just glad that my library here is private.

Yeah, that's good.
