The Peoples Library

Not a building.

Not a catalogue....

A living archive of voices, stories, and wisdom — written, spoken, and shared by everyday people.

It grows slowly, one voice at a time.

Not by publishers picking “bestsellers,”

but by humanity choosing what is worth passing on.

🧱 Prison storytellers.

🎓 Young voices with surprising wisdom.

🚽 Mr. H — the Listening Janitor.

👵 Elders with memory and humour.

🪶 Survivors of loss, recovery and renewal.

🐾 Children, cats, healers, midwives, farmers.

🪑 And occasionally — you.

📖 SwivelBook stories become part of the library.

🎧 SwivelVoice stories get recorded and stored.

📦 Every collection is giftable and shareable.

💛 Books travel, not sit on shelves.

Many move through prisons, hospitals, hospice rooms, community cafés, campus libraries, youth groups, meditation tents, and breakfast tables...

and occasionally — back to where they started.
