Liquid Library/3.0

The Liquid Library is a bar and library. It is located in Mirror Park across the remains of the old Mirror Park Tavern. It is well-known for being the de facto headquarters of Maximilian Thoroughbred’s 2028 campaign for Mayor of Los Santos.
== Origins==
The Liquid Library is the intended replacement of the Mirror Park Tavern. The idea was created by Kermy Fulker as a means to find a new business venture for the Tavern. The idea eventually expanded into turning the LL into a fully functioning bar, library, biergarten, distillery, brewery, and underground crime contractor. 
Siz Fulker, the former owner of the Mirror Park Tavern, acquired the plot of land across the street from the Tavern and began planning the construction of the LL in early 2021. After seeing the HoA's attitude towards the Tavern Siz initially decided to make the Liquid Library, from the get go, focus on hiring civilians to run the business rather than relying on the HoA; to this end he hired librarians to have ready to occupy the LL when it was finished, though by November 2021 the focus had shifted back to the HoA as by that point they had regained the confidence of Siz.
While the idea was presented to a construction company in the first months of 3.0, construction on the LL didn't begin until early January of 2022. The preceding months consisted of: postponements, stalled planning, and construction being juggled between several contractors.
By February 24, 2022 construction hit a roadblock, with the site needing lumber to continue. As a result, that day the HoA embarked on a heist to steal from the Paleto Forest Sawmill (which at the time was being shaken down by a gang of hillbillys calling themselves the "Hyenas"). The Hyenas initially managed to repel the HoA, who failed to infiltrate the sawmill and were quickly downed or taken hostage. The ensuing gunfire attracted the police who then killed all but one of the Hyenas (the final Hyena was killed by Kray Tor as he was looting a cop). Despite the death of the Hyenas, the lumber wasn't secured until after the police had cleared the scene since every HoA member present was arrested or downed. Luckily the police had not seized the lumber (despite finding the key for the padlock on the crate the lumber was in) and Jesus Antonio Lopez Contreras was able to break into the crate with thermite and secure the lumber for the LL.
As of April 19, 2022 the Library's interior was safe to enter, but was still under heavy construction with many sections still largely incomplete. By May the LL had begun operating in a limited capacity, although the interior was still under heavy construction. The outside renovations were in a similar state, with the LL's new windows not yet in place and a large crane being erected for use in further construction.
It celebrated its grand opening on June 13, 2022 after two months of construction work, with the public interior being completed. Although construction was still ongoing for several hidden areas. 
==Liquid Library Construction Timeline:==
===Phase 1:===
The Liquid Library progressed quickly to completion beginning April 19, 2022. A new exterior was implemented, complete with new doors, windows, and a hangout area. The interior was also updated, the bar was added complete with drink stations and fridges; additional rooms were added such as meeting rooms, offices, and break areas. 
===Phase 1.1:===
Phase 1.1 was implemented on April 26, 2022, updating the exterior and interior even further. Many of the boarded-up windows were removed from the exterior, revealing the new windows. The interior was heavily worked on as new tiles, wood flooring, and patterned windows were added on the lower floor of the Library. Additionally the closed-off western wing was opened, revealing a clock-in board and two new doors. The office was slightly changed, as the construction company ditched the salvaged computer desk and put a massive crate containing the new desk, a leather executive chair, and two leather client chairs; they also painted the room in a dark brown and installed a wooden door-frame. The white buckets were replaced with lawn chairs in the meeting room. The cigar room was also populated with two leather sofas, dubbed as casting couches. 
===Phase 1.2:===
Phase 1.2 was implemented on 5/3/2022. The exterior and interior were updated even further, removing even more of the boarded up windows and revealing more new windows. The flooring on the ground floor was completed and pillars were installed. The light fixtures on the main and top floor have not been installed yet, but the wiring for them were completed. The main and top floor walls have received a coating of taupe paint, however some rooms have yet to be painted. In the west wing, the employee clock-in room received some improvements as lockers were installed for people to change clothes, but the wooden barricade is still there. A mobile book trolley was added, featuring some of the books to be added in the library. On the second floor, many more windows were added instead of the boarded up frames; however, there are still window sills waiting to receive glass. In the cigar lounge, painting has begun. Tiling and mirrors were installed in the restrooms; all that is left is the installment of the toilets, stalls, and sinks. Not much changed in the meeting room as only minor additions were placed (e.g.: banana peels and more beer boxes/bottles). The top floor kitchen was fully tiled and an additional fridge, shelving unit, and sink were installed. The ground floor employee breakroom was changed. Instead of a long table, it was removed and a smaller table was put into place to allow for the construction workers to continue working there. A fridge and small burner was installed to allow for cooking and food storage down stairs for the employees. Painting was also started in this room. The room that received the biggest improvement was the owner's office. It received a proper coating of green paint adorned with a black and gold rose pattern bordering the painted wood and the naturally-colored brown wood. Additionally, it was furnished with a large Eastern European-style rug; two leather guest seats; a leather couch; the executive's chair and desk; a globe; a map of San Andreas; and a desk lamp. Though, the biggest additions to the room is the wooden and marble counter top adorned with various bottles of liquor with a one-way mirror and the bookshelf which doubles as a door to the secret gun room. Only known to Siz and Andi (so far) is the secret gun room beyond the bookshelf doors. Beyond the bookshelf doors is a liquor room, the first room to the right is the Gun Room. The gun room contains 5 tables, 4 shelves, 3 gun-racks, and one massive revolver clock. There are lamps fashioned from rifles and a crystal chandelier hanging off the wall. Throughout the room there is a alcohol bottles and guns neatly assorted and organized. There is another room to the left, that contains a work-in-progress room which leads to the poison factory underground. 
===Phase 1.51===
Phase 1.51 marked the grand opening of the Liquid Library. The library was officially opened for business to the public on June 13, 2022 after months in development. 
===Phase 1.62 (CURRENT)===
A major expansion to the Library. This added a fully-fledged distillery in the basement of the establishment; expansion of the secret room beyond the one-way liquor mirror; various secret doors; a cage; a backroom and many more. After the expansion, the Library became the de facto headquarters for Yung Dab’s mayoral run in 2028.
