Just wondering… what would a “library” be considered - trying to burn up an “old thinker”: a crazy old codger who spends his winter years cooped up in his musty library…
Was thinking about something like a workshop (although research/history/etc doesn’t need a workshop)…
They don’t require tools, but any non-crazy GM is going to expect you to have something to do research from. A library would do nicely, and workshop pricing fits. (Actually, that’s generous. A library cost far more than a blacksmith’s shop.)
You could do something semi-fiddly where the base cost gets a reasonable library with mostly general knowledge books for researching and what not. Anything beyond that might be extra resource points. Specific subjects and the like.
