Directory · Reference Library
A directory of the places worth knowing.And a shelf of the reading worth keeping.
Two things in one quiet home: verified profiles for the businesses around you, and a working library of guides and reports written to be read and re-read.

What this is
Two rooms in one quiet building — the directory and the library.
One side is a directory: verified profiles for the businesses, studios, and workshops around you, laid out with the details you actually need to reach them.
The other side is a reference library: guides, reports, and primers written to be read carefully, then downloaded and kept.
The two rooms are connected on purpose — the places you meet in the directory often show up again in the reading, and vice versa.

Why this exists
A quiet promise about the shelf.
Reviewed by hand
Every listing and every reference on the shelf is added, read, and checked by a person. Nothing here is auto-scraped.
Two rooms, one search
Look up a business, a report, a topic, a category — the results reach into both rooms at once.
Built to be re-read
The library standard: written for the shelf, not the feed. That is why entries stay useful for years.
What is here — a directory or a library?+
Both. The directory is a room of verified local business profiles. The library is a room of downloadable guides and reports. They share a search bar and a visual language.
Is the reference material free to download?+
Yes. Every entry in the library is a real reference — you can read it on the page and download the file to keep.
How does something get listed?+
Submit an entry through the submission workspace. Every profile and every reference is reviewed by a person before it goes on the shelf.
Do you sell placement or ads inside entries?+
No. The shelf order is editorial. Ad slots are labelled and kept out of the entry body itself.
Add your entry
List a place. Add a reference. Bring something worth keeping to the shelf.
Submit a business for the directory or a report for the library. Both are moderated by hand and both stay useful for years.
