Spellbound & Shelved
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 This Game
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.
What's in the box
> 200 upgrades
15 shelf wings, chained shut until you buy their chains off
29 achievements and a finale for the last book leaving the floor
A full run in roughly 1–3 hours — save and continue any time

Small bugfixes
This version prevents those little lazy gnomes to run away from the library. They must, and will work in all eternety. It also prevents them from dropping books out of bounds.
