Elder being Nyarlethotep came to the library this weekend to see how curbside delivery works. The visit was part of the community "connect with elder creatures" outreach initiative.

Looking to reach beings that may not have access to computer or mobile services, library staff called on local cults to help get the word out. One such cult, The Group of the Black Pharaoh (GBP), arranged a visit with the Crawling Chaos, Nyarlathotep. "We try to keep up with accessibility for our most elder gods," Tim Kramer, Grand Monoface of the GPB, said.

"Mr. Thotep didn't seem to understand the app or the ability to call in to arrange an appointment," circulation librarian Brenda said. "But that's normal. And that's the message: normalize needing help and asking for it. We're here to help everyone. In the end, we think everything worked out great."

The GBP raised the creature in the parking using an ancient blood rite. Nyarlathotep formed out of shadow and oil into the body of a small child. The ancient eyes surveyed the tables by the staff door before whispering to a local man who was unable to give his name. The local man then proceeded to tear out his own eyes and paint images of kittens on the pavement.

The director of the library said, "We were all shocked by the graffiti."

Nyarlathotep, also known as The Faceless God, then requested books about animals and anatomy. Staff suggested some technology learning materials which then lead to the Stalker Among the Stars picking several books about Minecraft. Adding in various language learning bookmarks, the God of a Thousand Forms gave his permission for library staff to report on his visit and to tell the local populace, "Kla M'fatha mu tu fatagam re'lek (sic)."

Library curbside is available Monday through Saturday. Contact your local branch for hours and availability.
