Branch Library

Description
Ever wanted to cheer up your classroom with a library shelf, just to find out you need to zone the shelf as a Library before books will be placed? And if you'd dezone it, the books on that shelf would be brought back to the Library again? Not to mention the flashing warning sign? No more!

With the Branch Library you can have little libraries (size 1x3) around your prison. They only need a shelf and not a sorting table, since sorting of the books is done in the main library. Therefore no contraband can be found in this little room. Sorted books will be distributed among the various branch libraries.

Typical places for a branch library would be canteens, a nursery, classrooms or common rooms. But even a hallway will be suitable, as long as it's indoors.

A huge female reform prison featuring this mod can be found here:

Is this mod still working after Murgh's disappearance/as of the Crowbar Hotel update?

Just look at the picture above, who is carrying the books? Zones don't matter.

Question for ya:

Do staff workmen take care of stocking branch libraries or do prisoners handle that? I've got a PC wing sectioned off from the rest of the general population, but I don't know how'd that work having a library in - for example here, MinSec - and having branch libraries scattered throughout my prison in other sections.

Mod update:

- added BookCase (Short) to the Branch Library room definitions and production rules

@Careful! Prisoners will only work if they "feel" like it. Gang Members also NEVER work. This could be your problem. But there are some other factors, like food quality and needs being met, personally it seems to me that even suppression might cause this. Hope this helped.

The game is literally broken (nobody in your supermax wing will work in a library) without using this technique, thanks for making it a mod so I don't have to watch the warning signs.

Thanks, it seemsa couple of books have been put in one of the common rooms You can see one of the common rooms at the bottom left and the Library is just close by. I think you're right it just takes time, this was great idea to add to my happy prisoners. I also have the gardens and eggs now, very cool. Thanks for replaying and creating this for us.

Books get brought sooner if both the library and the branch are located in the same security zones. However I also have one shared zone in the prison with no library, and it gets fed from other security level libraries after a while, it just takes some more time. So if nothing happens at all then it might be due to your prison design.

No idea, this is one of the simplest mods around. Books get brought to the branch if available. So there must be some problem in your main library. Either not enough people available to sort books or something alike.
