What if, by trying to save a world that did not need saving, we accidentally destroyed it?

As the town librarians, it is their duty to solve the mystery, retrieve the stolen items, save the Sacred Napkin, and drink as mush tea as possible, all in one day, before attempting to rip a hole in the fabric of space and time to save the planet.
