Does DCL ships have libraries?

Resurrecting an old zombie thread: Does Treasure have a space in Cove Cafe for books like the first four ships do?

There WAS a library on the Magic when I first started sailing with Disney - but it's gone. And the book trading thing in the Cove Cafes went belly up during Covid. I asked if I could leave a couple books there in 2024 and the Cove person said "They will just be thrown away" which is sad. As far as I know this is fleet wide. I ended up leaving them at Guest Services for the crew library. Heck, they used to sell about 12 titles in the little shop. Now they don't even sell cough drops!

I hate this. No library is probably the one thing I HATE about DCL.

I remember it was quite small and tucked away. Very quiet. It also had puzzles and a few tables. Now if I need a table to write or draw at I go into Cabanas after lunch is over. It’s relatively quiet there. And I bring a few books with me. My next cruise is 13 nights. I think I can get through 5 or 6 books?!

Everyone always says bring a kindle.
Boring. No passion, mystery, no spontaneity in a slick, compact, perfectly organized kindle. I want the joy of shuffling through shelves of random, awkward books I never would have chosen on my own. I want to be forced out of my comfort zone by a limited selection to take a chance on a new genre or author. I want the romance of reading a book I know others before have also read at sea. Come on, DCL, give us libraries! I think I want to go on Holland America tbh.
