About this ebook
The Library is a Sci-fiction story about a teen who in 2007 A.D. is chosen to become the next Head Librarian of a Library hidden deep below the Earth surface since 350 A.D. The oldest known Library in the universe whose archives date back more than 1 million years. Our Teen is reluctant to believe that the Library is real, nor that the current head Librarian is real, just a figment of his imagination and dreams. Ezekiel Jeremiah Jones is soon to learn that it is real and the Librarian is real. And needs Ziek’s help in saving the Universe.
“Surrendering isn’t always a bad thing, when you consider the reason why you surrender. Defeat can be when you face a foe who out numbers you and seeks your destruction. Defeat can be coming to the realization that you can no longer deny what is facing you and you have no options left but defeat or die. To live or to die isn’t always a conscious choice and can often be disguised behind fear or just stubbornness to admit defeat. You don’t always need an opposing army to show you that you are outnumbered. All to often your opponent is just one person, you. It may be easier to face defeat when you face an army who is stronger, larger, and equipped with better weapons. When you face yourself, defeat is humiliating when you consider it is yourself that has outnumbered you, bested every move you have made, and refuses to give up. So, who is the victor here, you or you?”
“As I stood there relieving myself, I came to the realization that it is not defeat, to admit that you can’t continue to deny that the Library from another galaxy isn’t real. Cornelius of Regal-Nebulas Miner isn’t real, or that this is all a dream. Dream’s end and you wake up. I woke up this morning and find myself once again in the library facing not a Holographic image of Cornelius, but the flesh and blood Cornelius. The Librarian was real. The Library was real, and I was real, therefore, I could no longer deny this was just a figment of my imagination. In the last several months I have gone through a transformation since I first saw the Library and left the Library. I was a different person since finding the library. A better person and who was I to say that was a dream. If it was a dream I didn’t want to wake up and find myself back to being my old self, that miserable teen who daily grew further apart from his mother, failing school, and constantly in trouble running around with the wrong crowd. Surrendering isn’t losing the battle it is living another day so you can chose the battles you can win. “Ziek admitted to himself.
“Now Zeik, that is the philosophy of a great man, one who can admit defeat so he can fight another day the battles he can win. I assure you Zeik, there are battles out there you can win, and battles you shouldn’t even try to win. Knowing what battles to choose is what I plan to teach you as the Librarian. The Library isn’t just about stored knowledge in a computer database, or physical books on a shelf. It isn’t about artifacts, or audio/visual aids. It is about taking that knowledge and learning how to use it to your advantage. Have you not since leaving the library, learned how to use the knowledge you always had at your fingertips to make remarkable changes in your life for the better. You chose the battle you can win, and you won that battle. If you had not chosen that battle, you would have lost the old battle you were having and that would have been defeat of a kind you could never forgive yourself for losing.” Cornelius spoke to Zeik in his mind.”
