Scroll to walk the stacks
The shelves run the full length of the hall. Each spine stands for one record, lent, returned, and kept.
Gallery over gallery, the collection keeps rising. Nothing is shelved out of reach for long.
From up here every volume is accounted for.
Each donated book opens a branch off main. Everything that happens to that copy is written there.
Scans, saved quotes, hours read, a loan to another library. Each gets a hash and a fixed place in the history.
When a book's journey ends, its branch merges back into main: one public history anyone can read.
