The Library of Time and Cycles

The Library of Time and Cycles is one of The Nine Great Libraries. This library is a haunting and strange place. Half of the entire volume of this Library that would have originally been occupied by books is occupied instead by clocks of an inconceivable array of sizes and types. Huge bells and chimes that swing from the vastly high ceilings mark the unending passage of time, decorating time itself with the words they speak: music. Huge wheels and gears many times the size of normal buildings shrouded in arcane and obscured purpose rotate, accompanied by smaller gears, and smaller gears, and smaller, connected to gears no larger than your fingernail, and perhaps smaller.

The final purpose of this Library is impossible to determine, although Mystic Wanderers walk in great processions through its unending, maze-like structure, carrying flutes, harps, trumpets, bells, and chimes. Whether they are trying to commune with the great Library or discern its purpose cannot be known by mortal man.

It is of note that most of the actual books within this Library do not contain words. They are rather, for the most part, extremely complex technical diagrams.
