With all due respect, Mr. Tong, you are not the sole proprietor of this library, nor will you force our residents into conducting themselves in such a way as to restrict the freedom of knowledge in this village. Your world may abide such rules; this one is different, and it will not. We are trapped together here and the best we can do is stay as informed as possible, as often as we please.

It is no more yours than it is anyone else's. For better or worse, that is how life in Luceti works, and you will do yourself a great service to grow accustomed to it - and to a greater understanding of the sort of trust it takes to survive here.
