/sekənd/ /akt/ /ˈlīˌbrerē,ˈlīb(ə)rē/
noun, phrase

1. A term used to define a horror trope -- the period of a horror film (most often occurring in the latter half of the Second Act) where the hero/es research their foe/s in an effort to become more equally matched and equipped to battle them in the Final Act. Coined by screenwriter Kimberley Elizabeth.

eg. ~ Copyright-safe Google searches, Wikipedia scouring, Newspaper clippings, Microfiche scanning, and trips to the - you guessed it - Library.

C.D. Library

A place where people go to relax and be bored the fuck out of there minds. I mean seriously, there is nothing to do here except to walk around and find low lifes on the computers in the corner watching some freaky indian porno or something. And talking about DVDs, this place has the worst selection of dvds, even worse than your dead grandpa's collection, so it's a pretty chill palce as you can see.
