The house

What we make, and why.

The Lamplit Shelf, lit on a dark table at night

Night Library is for the part of the night when the house has gone quiet and you are still up with a book. The lamp is on, the chapter is good, and nobody needs you for anything until morning. We make candles for that hour, and we named the place after it, because it is the only library that never closes.

There are six candles, on two shelves. The three on After Dark are for the deep end of the night, the low lamp and the last few pages. The three on Open Hours are warmer, for the fire burning down and the first light coming in. Each one is named for a spot in the house where you might sit and read, because that is how most of us remember a scent. Not by the notes in it, but by where we were.

Every candle is poured after you order it, in the USA, in a 9 oz jar with a cotton wick. We say allow about two weeks so that nobody is left waiting on a promise, but we do everything we can to get yours to you quicker than that.

The seal

A candle on a closed book, under a window.

Everything we are about is in the seal. A book that has been closed for the night, a candle that is still burning, and a window with the moon in it so you know how late it has got.

You will find it on every label.
