The Moonlit Library

The Moonlit Library is a library unlike any other in world, as is best appreciated in the small hours of the night under a full moon. When the moon is high in the sky, it sends warm blue light cascading through the smooth mountain cave that now houses the libraries. The moonlight and candlelight in synchrony — or in Winter the crackling fireplace — create a reading light you could scarcely imagine. Our guests, as do the curators, spend many nights in the soft light, in an oversized chair, with a rare volume pulled from the old wooden shelves. Many novels have been written in the secluded alcoves of the cave-library. Many poems have been read aloud to a group of fast friends who’d come from around the world for the library, or for no reason at all.

The Moonlit Library.collection is a multi-generational effort to discover and preserve knowledge of all kinds, and in particular the strange or hidden such as Mushroom Mountain itself. Our collection, however, is based off the the extensive library floated down the River by E. Goldberry nearly eighty years ago and built up through the givings of our guests, our own writings, and our additions of our curators.
