I recently did the Voluminous Library thing, and I was unlucky and didn't get the library. Is there anyway to retry the story line, and attempt to get it again, without having to create a new character?

Yes, absolutely - you should be able to try your case again immediately, with only a small investment of legal fees.

That was actually my bf posting for me because I was at work. However I did do the trial for the library and was unlucky. I tried to redo it but it only offered the option of 'onward' and did not let me try again. When I clicked onward the option and the entire storylet had been removed from my availability on the side streets. Do I have to do something special or will the gold bordered card appear again?

Yes. The storyline was reset but not permanently locked. You just have to wait for the card to show up again.

Thank you. :3 I had another friend who played and they told me that it's just gone for good, and that if you mess up on something that was unlocked with a person of some importance then you're just sol.
Thanks for the quick info and sorry for being a bother!

There is also a second way to acquire the library - build your own from research you do while Embarking on a Scientific Expedition at sea. Of course, you'll need your own boat for that. I have no idea how it compares cost-wise, but it isn't luck based. It also appealed to me more for thematic reasons; but your mileage may vary.

Good news for you and your friend, then - I don't think any of the Person of Some Importance items can be locked off! You can always wait for the card to come up again, or spend some Fate/Nex, or something along those lines. And, no bother!

This option costs 250*3 research, which translates to 7500 pence - 75 echoes. As such it would be very much cheaper than the legal document+ secrets.
