TO CHECK OUT.
No I heard Central Library had a vintage souvenir machine. Bingo. It looks like you can get your very own rank, just like the ones on the 2nd Floor near the rotunda. A little $5 tap to get this machine going. So those metal plates come together to create a good, then a mysterious substance is injected into the good, and poof, you have your very own sphinx. It's like a three d printer, but you can only print one thing. If you wanna feel like Dexter in a library laboratory rank you like interesting smells, this is definitely something you'll wanna check out. No pun intended.
