After speaking with Hadley head down the hall into the rooms on the right. Inspect the chest in the back corner for Expert Barrier Rune and a Master Tempest Rune while a chest on the other side of the room contains various potions and healing materials. Continue further down the hall to find Sandal and a chest with more healing items. Sandal carries various items that are available across the main game, but nothing unique.

Head through the library until you reach the center area just before going to the second floor.
