Is there a trick to getting scribes to copy written works in a library? My scribe isn't copying any works.

Here's an image of the entry for my library "The Golden Homes" in the Location menu (the other location is a tavern).

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

As you can see I have bookshelves, tables and chairs, writing material, and a scribe assigned.

I think the setup works generally because my scholar has filled numerous quires (many of which I have since bound into codicies). However, the scribe isn't copying any of them!

As you can see in the image above, I have "Total number of each to scribe" set to 2, so in my mind that should mean that the scribe has work to do until there are 2 copies of every work in the library? Is that not correct? If it is, does anyone know what I'm missing for the scribe to make copies?

The current scribe used to be the scholar that wrote most of the books/quires in my library, and he is a Talented Reader and a Novice Writer.

I've run four libraries in different forts in the past few days and I *might* have seen a scribe copy a book, *once.* I feel comfortable saying it's bugged.

I saw it happen. Just make sure you've plenty of writing material.

I've seen it happen only once. Despite the scribes not having any other jobs they just stand around and never copy any works down.

It is a bug that just got fixed. 0.42.03 will have the fix.
