Description
A wizard-academy library has vanished under its own books. Hire gnomes, unlock shelves, and let the tidying run itself — a cozy idle game about turning magical chaos into calm, one neatly filed spellbook at a time.

About
Tidy up the library
All 6,655 books are spilled across the floor. Your gnomes shelve it away, and the library's slowly returning to beauty.
Your readers are the mess
6 unlockable types of customers visit your library and pay for the privilege of pulling your hard-shelved books back onto the floor. Income and mess have the same source: your customers. So the master lever is the door sign: flip it to CLOSED and the gnomes tidy in blessed peace while the till sits silent; flip it to OPEN and the gold flows while the mess creeps back.
You manage, they work.
No manual shelving. You hire, upgrade, unlock wings and flip the sign; the fun is watching a dozen red-hatted gnomes waddle, haul teetering stacks and bow to pick up one more book. Want something to do? Snatch tip coins before they fade, pep-talk a gnome into a sprint, usher a dawdling reader out. Or touch nothing and let the library breathe.

- > 200 upgrades
- 15 shelf wings, chained shut until you buy their chains off
