NIGHT LIBRARY / JOURNAL

Notes from the shelves.

Discoveries, reading trails and updates from a small independent collection of interesting places on the web.

A library without closing hours

Night Library begins with a simple idea: a few carefully described links can be more useful than an endless feed. Our first collection brings together cultural archives, astronomy and historical books.
