Noam writes (nprofile…wpee) I enjoyed this but I had problems suspending disbelief when I encountered scribes as the only choice. While I may be a fountain pen enthusiast and enjoy writing on paper, I wondered why the library in this would not make full use of mechanisms that predate the introduction of the computer. In particular photographic reproductions such as microfilm were quite normal for decades and this fictional library likely has newspaper archives on microfilm.
If they're concerned with knowledge preservation they should be well aware of the risks of transcription errors from scribes.
