Need help fixing the bridge in Icewind Dale

I'm up to the Wyrms Tooth I ce Glacier level. With the frozen aquarium.
I've been playing the game with a faq, reading up when I've finished a level just to make sure I haven't missed a secret or something.
Well I didn't know anything about fixing a bridge so I went ahead and freed the slaves. Including the bookeeper slave who is supposed to give me a book about fixing bridges.
So how am I supposed to fix the bridge now when that slave has dissapeared? I'm sure there must be another way, or maybe I can get around fixing the bridge somehow? The faq I've read seems to suggest that I HAVE to fix it to continue.

Can anyone help me out with this? Otherwise I'll have to go back to the beginning of this level.

I won't lie, I remember the aquarium, but nothing about fixing a bridge.
Maybe it is not necessary then?

I am really not sure. If I get the chance, I can see if I have a save game around there and check it out.

Don't you have to give the book to someone so they can fix it?

The faq says this.

At
(x 835 y 2000) you find a broken bridge. This will need to be repaired, if
only you had a method of doing such a thing.

There are many slaves on this level, but only two that we need to talk to.
Go left and talk to Soth (x 100 y 340). Ask him about the books, then
mention that you need an Engineering book to fix a bridge. He gives you one,
which is worth 112500 experience. We can now fix the bridge.

Go back to the bridge (which is left and a little down at x 835 y 2000). The
bridge will automatically be repaired (60,000 experience) and you can now
cross it and enter the cave (x 330 y 2250).
It sounds as if you have to fix it to get to Jorils cave, but I don't know if you HAVE to go there. I'll play it more today and see what happens.

It turns out that the slave drops the book on the ground if you free him. So I got the book anyway.

On with the game...
