The Public Library:
Our Public Library is located at the Crossroads. It contains wonderful things that we
have found (and gotten permission to use on our site) from all over the net. This Public
Library is open to anyone who would care to download its contents. It is not a Summerlands
members' exclusive library. If you have material which is public domain or that is your
intellectual property and you think would fit in well in the Summerlands Public Library,
contact Searles at searles@summerlands.com
and let him know what you have to add (no guarantees ... but we're always on the
lookout for quality additions for our libraries). Submission and acceptance into our
library follows the same procedures and high quality standards of the best Pagan
publications. Become a published Pagan author at The Summerlands!
The Summerlands Library Complex:
- The Main Library - Your trip through The Summerlands Library system begins at the
Main Library. From there you can go to any of the Branch Libraries or to the Ancient
Texts Repository. All files that are not 'site specific' but which we feel of value
to the community can be found at the here. Your Librarian is Aurora at aurora@summerlands.com.
- Branch Libraries - Each of the individual sites will have what we think of as a
"Branch Library". These will contain files that are specific to that site. For
instance: the library at Airmid's Apron will reference herbs & plants; at the Well of
Sla'n will be health and healing specific files; at The Hall of Remembrance library you
can find files pertaining to The Burning Times and historical witchcraft. These Branch
Libraries are all tied in to the central computer at the Main Library so that all
searches will also include files located in the Branches. Contact the individual site
Searles or Aurora if you have any questions.
File Submissions - Any member of The Summerlands may submit a file for
consideration to any of the Libraries. Submission does not automatically mean acceptance
however. We reserve the right to decline any file or manuscript submitted to us. We
review everything very carefully to ensure that our libraries are filled with only the
best files and resources that we can obtain. We thank you for your submissions and
for your understanding of the process. There will be a file submission form with
submission guidelines and instructions located at The Main Library page and at each Branch
Library.
- The Ancient Texts Repository (ATR) - The ATR is filled with all of the ancient
texts and old out of print scholarly manuscripts that we can lay our hands on. If you are
looking for that hard-to-find copy of 'The Poet's Secret' or 'Review Celtique', this is
the place to go look. Your Brughaidh is Jenny Gibbons at jenny@summerlands.com. This
site is not yet open, we just wanted to give you a heads up that it was coming.
