Considering that most public libraries are technically government buildings, it stands to reason that any library belongs to the Princess(es).

#241052 Chadaman 99 Mon, 2nd Jul '12 8:32:12 PM

Doesn't everything under and above the skies of Equestria belong the princess'?

Nope.

Everything's been done. Everything has a meaning. However your life at best is to serve as a building block for others.

You wouldn't happen to know how long we've been aware of the name? Don't bother if it's too hard to find, though.

How long we've been aware would indeed be hard to find, so instead here's how many times it's been named (that I know of, at least):

English uses of "Golden Oaks Library" include:
- Enterplay's "Golden Oaks Library" trading card◊
- Treehouse TV's Friendship Express Train Contest minigame
- Hasbro design seminar (reportedly)
English uses of "Golden Oak Library" include:
- Stuck On Stories: My Little Pony
- Sparkle World story "Spooky Slumber Party!"◊
English uses of "Books and Branches Library" include:
- The Hub's Club Hub (reportedly)
Swedish uses of "Biblioteket Gyllene Eken" include:
- My Little Pony Min Ljudbok
German uses of "Goldenen Eiche" include:
- Magazine story "Ein unauflösbares Rätsel für Twilight Sparkle"

The real surprising bit for me is that the Princess Luna cards use the version of her from before she returned to full strength, with the shorter, solid mane. It even looks like they pulled out a previously unused vector for the primary Luna card, unless some old box art has her in a flying pose like that.

*Fully expects Whatsthisgame to immediately find the source of the image*

It doesn't seem to have been used in the toy line or on the official Zazzle & FashionPlaytes merchandise, anyway. (Well, I found what isn't the source of the image; does that count for anything?

)

#241056 Perpetual Lurker Mon, 2nd Jul '12 8:48:07 PM

Upon closer inspection, that is the Luna vector used for the Season One Comic-Con poster. In fact, a lot of the cards seem to use the same vectors used in that poster, though certainly not all of them.

#241057 Whatshisgame Mon, 2nd Jul '12 8:56:42 PM

So it is!

Just noticed that they used a picture of Rainbow Dash's house for the Cloudsdale card. wat

#241058 Bluespade Mon, 2nd Jul '12 8:57:30 PM from Texas

Maybe Rainbow's house used to be in Cloudsdale, and she just popped the whole thing off and flew it to Ponyville.

#241059 latenight Mon, 2nd Jul '12 8:59:28 PM from moonburnt

I blame it on lazy Cloudsdale architects. Its much easier to just recycle designs.

#241060 Mousa The 14 Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:00:18 PM from Northern Virginia

But then where does her property tax go? I mean she lives in Ponyville but she basically took Cloudsdale's land in order to do if.

#241061 Bluespade Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:00:30 PM from Texas

That's really lazy. It's not like it takes much effort to build things out of clouds. Literally any pegasus could just throw one together.

Rainbow Dash is a tax evader!

#241062 edvedd Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:01:13 PM from Over there. Maybe?

@Blue: I imagine the exact reasoning for that card is: "Meh, close enough."

What makes you think that? I expect it takes just as much skill as building a regular house.

@Bluespade, well she's most certainly lazy enough to be one, perhaps even inadvertently.

Cloudsdale is made of clouds, it's probably pretty easy to make more or just grab them out of the air or something.

@Blue: Uh, no. There is a difference between clouds and "cloud structures." I can't just throw a cloud house together using only clouds.

Yeah, Andromeda is heading for you. You got over 9000 years until it collides.

I wonder if it is possible to make sculptors out of clouds.

#241070 latenight Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:07:53 PM from moonburnt

In defense of Cloudsdale's architects it would be easy to build a house but its picking up the pencil and then coming up with a unique design for every house that's hard.

#241071 Swasfews Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:08:44 PM from New York

Oh, MMDW is with Daring Do? Do we have a good view of the front of the card?

#241072 Bluespade Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:09:47 PM from Texas

Hmm, interesting how Chrysalis, Discord, and Nightmare Moon are all labeled as the exact same amount of threat to Equestria.

Also, you have to turn Discords card upside down to read it, that's perfect.

There is no evidence for this.

Okay, the Discord card is stroke of genius.

#241075 Bluespade Mon, 2nd Jul '12 9:14:03 PM from Texas

I assumed it would be easy to make a cloud house because it has been shown that a) pegasi can support their weight on clouds of any size b) pegasi can move clouds around really easily. It'd be like having a material that is completely lightweight, moldable into any shape, and can be split apart or combined together at any time. How could that not be easy?

Lol, Gilda's card has a "Nice Meter."
