    How to earn the rewards

    Book first, quest second: the librarian only offers the turn-in quest while a book is in your bags.

    1. Find a book

      Books are pick-up objects at fixed spots in the world, such as shelves, scroll piles and tomes on desks. Monsters don't drop them.

      Below, every book is listed by zone with its spot and coordinates; the first set of 14 is all in low-level zones.

    2. Hand it to a librarian

      Each book has its own turn-in quest, and each faction has a librarian. Coordinates are on the city map:

      AllianceGarion WendellStormwindMage Quarter(48.8, 86.6)

      HordeOwen ThaddThe Undercitymana area(73.4, 33.0)

    3. Claim rewards at 10, 20, 25 books

      You can hand books in one at a time; no need to collect them all first.

      After book 10, the quest Friend of the Library appears; complete it to pick one of 2 rewards.

      After book 20, the quest Greater Friend of the Library appears; complete it to pick one of 2 rewards (the quest needs level 20).

      After book 25, the quest Greater Friend of the Library appears; its reward items are not yet listed.

    Where the books are 29 books

    The maps cover 29 books: 14 in the first set and 15 in higher-level zones. A book with two spawn points counts once.
