Welcome, Traveler!

By chance or by intent, you are now in the Royal Library of Menegroth, compiled and managed by Lady Melian (Daereth). I hope that you will enjoy your time here and find the Library to be a valuable guide to the world of Middle-earth, as so many have before you.

I'm closing the Olde Library for reconstruction. Also, a new section of my website has opened at http://www.melianna.ardalibrary.net It is my personal page where I will post research on Old English, new translations, and information on my new design projects.

June 15th 2010
I have revamped the Gallery. It looks splendid now with a new theme and our banner on top.

June 12th 2010
Added a ClustR map.

We just have no luck with the guestbooks! Hope this one fares better http://ardalibrary.net/gb/

November 21st 2008
I have given up our old guestbook and added a new one here on our server. I think that's good as I didn't get the feedback I wanted on that slow Bravenet one. Cheers!
The new guestbook is called The Wayside Inn. Welcome.

November 15th 2008
Added three new albums in the Gallery: Marta Aguado, Eivind Bovor, Rob Alexander

October 8th 2008
ATTENTION all Tolkien fans! Our gallery has MOVED and is now fully available at our own server http://www.ardalibrary.net/gallery.
Old links have been preserved, however, and so are all galleries - so no worries there :)
