The Endless Library

This is a Library Design.

Books are Handwritten and Bound by Hand and with Craft Tools. No Industrialization. No Computers. No Printers.

The Library carries a Basic Set of Iron-Bound Wood-back Tomes on the Compendium of Human Knowledge.

The first floor is based on these Book Types.

The second floor takes these subjects to an Intermediate Level.

The third floor takes these subjects to an Advanced Level.

A hidden basement floor is made available to worthy 3rd Floor Patrons for Genius Level. There is a Skeleton Key with a Red Ruby on it.

There are no Authors. All the Authors are Ghost-writers. So, reputation of the Author is not tied into the Subject of Study. It is simply that Afficionados of the Subject just want to compile the very best Knowledge Base they possibly can.

The Spirit of Open Source and the Public Wiki are alive within this Library Design.

The Librarians are also playing a Game of Highly Enriched Human Engagement.

Human Attention replacing Automation with Strict Sweat Equity is a focus of this Design.

Game Design is employed in their Organization, and every Library Patron gets that Good Quality Social Energy from the Experience of Engaging with the Library and her Librarians.

There is no Professional Distance, at all. The Librarians are invested in you on every level.

You are not borrowing any Books. This Library is open 24/7, and you can read as long as your like. These Books are precious. They are Authentic, and not Copies. They are each the result of a large number of devoted people.

Imagine a Library that doesn't acknowledge the Invention of The Printing Press. Bookbinding, yes, Industrial Printing of Copied Publications, no. These Books are written by Hand, by Nameless Fanatics of the Given Subject.

Are you a Fanatic Aficionado? We may have determined that you are. The School is hidden. The School has beds. Stay, and Write.

(Gives you a Skeleton Key with a Green Gem)

Was your Job as a Writer taken by AI? We have a bed for you. We are the Writers. We live under the Library.

We are the Scribes. We make the Paper, and the Ink. We Bind and Write the Books. We collaborate daily on new and existing content. There are no Computers. There are no Typewriters. We use Pens, Markers, Crayons, and Various Inks on Hemp Paper. We use rulers to keep writing lines straight. We keep the Library comfortable and safe for our Readers. It is Cool in the Summer, and Warm in the Winter. We are Apt Calligraphers and Scholars.
