Hello! I am looking for a large production silk that has a library or reading theme. Does anyone have any suggestions or resources? Thanks in advance!

If you search for "book themed silk scarf" on Amazon or Google , you'll find some silk scarves with book designs printed . Also search for "author themed silk scarf" , which will turn up silk scarves with quotations from certain authors (for example: Lewis Carroll "Alice In Wonderland")printed on the silk scarf.
They may not be thin enough to use as a production scarf (?) ... depends on the method or apparatus you are using , if the load area is large enough to take a thicker silk material ? (given that most magic apparatus made for silk productions assumes you are using very thin, compressible silk , and most silk scarves intended to be worn as fashion accessories tend to be made from thicker silk)

There is the option to having designs custom-printed on silk by Wonder Imagery (Tim Sonefelt).

Here are some Reading / Library silk magic effects...

Barry Mitchell has a retired effect, "Readers are Winners", which you might be able to track down on the used magic market.

I have used a color changing streamer to illustrate creative thinking and that could apply to reading.

The waving black scarf symbolizes "simple meaning or words in a text book," with it changing to vibrant colors when reading a novel
and becoming one with the author and characters.
