Book donations for the library
WoW Forever also has a library you can donate books to. According to our best-in-slot data, the quest “Great Friend of the Library” rewards, after twenty donated books, among other things Field Researcher's Loop and Philanthropist's Ring.
Which books count, where they are and who accepts them is not in our quest database yet. We will add it once the data is confirmed.
