You breathe in the smell of papyrus, glue, ink, cedar-oil . . . and dust. Since the censors have departed and other great public libraries have been established in Rome, this one has fallen out of favor. Your eyes glance over the book rolls that fill the cabinets, (armaria), seeking the third book of Ovid's Tristia, once banned from these shelves but now welcome since our current emperors have a more sophisticated approach to literature (at least when it doesn't criticize them!). Finally you see an old man in a corner clutching Ovid's scroll, apparently conversing earnestly with the poem. Since he has read the poem many times, he is willing to relinquish it to you. Just click on Tristia 3.1 and enjoy Ovid's wonderful Latin trip through Rome.
