 The first Federal Library opened in [[new_kourou|New Kourou]] in December 2634, with subsequent openings in [[firetown|Firetown]], [[hope|Hope]], and [[morningstar|Morningstar]] by 2635. Managed under the [[federal_news_agency|Federal News Agency]], these libraries symbolize the Federal Confederation's dedication to sustainability, education, and culture.
+Federal Libraries are also part of the official distribution network of the [[the_weekly_gazette|Weekly Gazette]], ensuring that citizens can access current news alongside curated books and reference works.
+Tragedy struck the Federal Library System when the [[Federal Library of Hope|Federal Library of Hope]] burned down in January 2636. The [[federal_attorney|Federal Attorney]] accuses the [[individualists|Individualist Party]] of orchestrating the incident, citing their ideological opposition to the Federal Library System as potential motive. Investigations by the [[federal_sheriff|Federal Sheriff]] have faced significant challenges, as [[hope|Hope]] is governed by an Individualist [[mayors|Mayor]], and its Local Sheriff is affiliated with the Individualist Party. The investigation remains ongoing, leaving the [[the_humans|ExoHuman]] community divided and demanding justice.
 ===== Book Collection: The Federal Longlist =====
