Attempting to entertain Ruby, Emerald reads aloud a few of the poems from the book. Ruby seems slightly entertained by this, but the colt barely notices.
 
He finds a nice poem about a mare and a stallion. The mare thinks the stallion is only with her for her beauty, and so transforms herself into various animals. The stallion reciprocates by chasing her down in the same forms, always offering a reason why she is the one for him. Eventually she realizes his love for her and they live happily ever after.
 
Emerald copies down the poem, and them looks around at some of the alchemy books. They describe places for gathering ingredients, as well as how to identify them. He also finds a book about history of the Zebra gods.
 
Both of these are far too long to copy… But perhaps he can borrow them for his stay here?
 
Emerald approaches the counter of the library and asks if he can check out those books.
 
“I’m sorry, but we can only let books out to students and staff…” The librarian says.
 
Emerald gives a sad, disappointed face, and the librarian sighs and says with a warm smile, “If you are really serious about having these, you can purchase them at the bookstore in Supply and Laboratory building. It’s the one with the fountain in front of it. If you are lucky they’ll have some older versions of the books. Those usually go cheaper.”
