Description
-----

Scholar's Library adds a functional library to each Vanilla and Dragonborn player home. This library automatically sorts and maintains a collection of each world book that the player brings home.

The Library can be added to each of the Vanilla player homes by purchasing it from the applicable town's steward (Whiterun, Windhelm, Solitude, Markarth, Riften), and is automatically added to the Dragonborn home upon acquisition of the house itself (Solstheim).

To open the automatic sorter menu, activate the orb near the library. The first option 'Add New Books' will automatically take any world books from your inventory and add them to the collection. The second option 'Clean entire library' will reset every book currently in the collection to its correct place on the shelves.

Each Library is linked, meaning that any book a player adds to one player home will appear in other player homes when the automatic sorter is next used in each location.

Installation
-----

Option A:
Use Nexus Mod Manager

Option B: (Manual)
Extract the contents of the .rar file into your Skyrim/Data folder

In Game Preparation:
No evacuation of player houses or containers is necessary, however installing the mod may cause a mess due to furniture and items being moved.

Compatibility:
Breezehome FullyUpgradable & Breezehome TNF - Elianora's flavour: This mod can work with each of these mods provided the player doesn't add the library to the house in question. A true compatibility patch for both mods will become available in future.

This mod may conflict with other mods that change the internal structure of Bethesda's player houses. In each case the conflict can be avoided by simply not purchasing the Scholar's Library for the house in question.

Further Notes
-----

If you encounter any bugs or have any suggestions, please post in the discussion or create a forum post above. I will be actively watching both places for some time.

Should you enjoy my mod and wish to provide support, endorsements are always appreciated :-)

Upcoming Updates
-----

- Addition of the 41 Dragonborn world books to the library.
- Addition of the Scholar's Library to the library wing of the Hearthfire houses.
- Compatibility patches for Breezehome Fullyupgradable & Breezehome TNF that will add the Library to each house.

Future BHM House Mods & Updates
-----

The BHM Mod Series is a set of 2 mods, both intended to provide players with an automatic inventory sorting system that physically displays the items being sorted. 

The first mod in this series is Blacksmith's Basement. This mod creates a linked basement that is accessible via each player home, and provides automatic sorting and display for - 
- Crafting items such as ore/ingots, soul gems, dragonbone and gems.
- Alchemy Ingredients; (future update)
- Cooking Ingredients; (future update)
- Hearthfire building supplies. (future update)

The second mod in the BHM series is this mod, which focuses on the display of collectible items. This mod will eventually include a number of other collections which can be chosen in a modular fashion - 
- The Scholar's Library (Already available)
- Mask/Claw/Paragon/Insect Jar display shelves - These shelves will be linked between player houses.
- Treasure Hunter's Map - A world map that automatically stores the treasure maps from the players inventory, while providing clues as to the general location of each treasure. As above, this map will be linked between player houses.
