Library
As you push open the ornate, creaking door of the town’s library, a mesmerizing world unfolds before your eyes. The air is infused with the heady scent of ancient parchment and the faintest whisper of stories and spells linger in the atmosphere. Soft, ethereal lights dance along the shelves, guiding your way through a labyrinth of tales that seems to stretch into otherworldly dimensions.
Shelved books and their spines, adorned with symbols that seem to shimmer with magic, are arranged in an order known only to the library itself. The air is thick with the hushed murmur of stories waiting to be discovered and the delicate rustle of pages turning autonomously. As you step further into this literary sanctuary, the ambient glow intensifies, casting a warm and inviting radiance that contrasts with the mysterious shadows playing among the towering bookcases.
A cloaked mysterious figure, who appears to be the librarian of this enchanted establishment, reveals himself out from the shadows of the towering bookcases and approaches you. He says,
“Ah, traveler, I have heard whispers about your journey here. If you’ll be staying awhile, might I entice you to join our growing community of literary enthusiasts? We’ve collaborated our gatherings at a neighboring community, known as Marigold Town. It is a great way to meet fellow like-minded individuals whom partake in the art of delving into fictional worlds of word weaving, and many of whom are skilled word weavers themselves, creating fictional worlds of their very own. I’ll give you time to think on it, but do take this application form with you for your consideration in joining us there.”
As you consider the offer, the mysterious librarian vanishes back into the shadows, leaving you with a sense of wonder and possibility. Before he disappears entirely, he places in your hands a quill, a vial of ink, and a parchment adorned with mystical symbols—the library’s application form. With these tools, you are now both an observer and a potential literary architect of the magic that resides within the four walls of this enchanted haven.
Before you join, you are most welcome to visit our establishment over at Marigold Town here.

About
Before joining, it is important to know what a webring is so that you can effectively participate in it.
A webring is a number of websites with related content, offering links to one another in a circular fashion. Eventually as you browse through the ring, you will end up back where you started.
This structure allows everyone to gain exposure/traffic to their web blogs equally, and it’s a great way to discover others who share things in common.

Webring Code
IMPORTANT: Copy and paste the code into the HTML file of the website page you want people to visit. In both parts of the code that says “YOUR-URL-GOES-HERE”, but sure to replace that with your own URL/Website link
(NOTE: make sure when you paste your link that you do not accidentally paste an additional https:// next to the one that is already there as this will break the link. Only paste your URL that comes after the https://)
Generally, you should paste the code on the landing/home page of your website as that will be the first page people see when they visit you from this ring. However, if you’d prefer ring visitors to land on a page relevant to the ring (such as your book blog, or other book-related section of your site), then make sure that is the link you paste in the code as well as the one you provide in the submission form below.
