Idle Library

Idle Library is a relaxing incremental clicker where your humble collection grows into a vast archive of knowledge spanning rare manuscripts, ancient tomes, and legendary codices.

Whether you're actively optimizing your upgrades or letting your library grow while you're away, progress never stops.
