"Library"

The library is a room. "You wipe the sweat from your brow as you open the door to the library. The air conditioning seems too cold at first, and you notice most people are wearing sweaters. The stacks are directly in front of you, and you you walk down the first aisle labeled Literary Criticism."

The glass door is a closed door. The glass door is south of the library.

The description of the glass door is "You look back through the glass door and see the sun beating down on the quad. There are a few people walking around, but it is mostly deserted. In the distance, you see a door to the the main building."

The quad is south of the glass door. The main building is south of the quad. The A Wing is west of the main building.  The B Wing is northwest of the main building. The C Wing is north of the main building. The D Wing is northeast of the main building. The E wing is east of the main building.

The description of the main building is "The main building is giant and is home to many departments and programs."

The description of the quad is "It is almost to hot to think out here. You don't want to spend much time in the heat."

The stacks are in the library. "On the left shelf, you notice that a green book has been pulled from its perch and left on an empty space on the top shelf. As you walk closer, you also notice a red book on the bottom shelf." The top shelf is part of the stacks. The bottom shelf is part of the stacks. A green book is on the top shelf. There is a slip of paper in the green book. A red book is on the bottom shelf. 

The description of the stacks is "The stacks are full of books ranging in size and color. The smell of old pages brings you an odd pleasure and a vague feeling of an oncoming sneeze."

The description of the top shelf is "The shelf is near you just above eye level and has a green book conspicuously left hanging over the edge."

The description of the bottom shelf is "Your toes are not far from the bottom shelf, and you notice that the red book almost matches your sneakers."

The description of the red book is "The red book seems to have been left on the shelf purposefully. It is on its side with the title Discipline and Punish conspicuously on the cover."

The description of the green book is "The green book is not open but seems to be conspicuously hanging over the edge of the shelf. On closer inspection, there is a little slip of paper sticking out from between the pages."

The description of the slip of paper is "When you step closer, you notice the white slip of paper has writing on it written in black ink."

Instead of taking the green book: say "The book does not move when you go to pick it up. It seems to be glued to the shelf."

Instead of taking the slip of paper: say "You pull the paper out of the book and see that it is a scrap of notebook paper that looks like it was torn out of someone's notes for class. In red pen, someone wrote D122."
