Alexandria's Library Cleo

Alexandria's Library (Great Library) is a large marble learning complex: portico, rotunda, and halls. Build on clear land (13×14). Guilds: Work Camp (clear/level), Stonemasons, and Carpenters (scaffolding). Not Artisans; materials are marble, timber, and late copper for the roof. Do not confuse with the city Library education building (papyrus + culture walker) — the monument does not need papyrus.
