Welcome to the t. Hill esoteric LIbrary
T. H.E.L. is open to the public!
Our book and media collection are available for rental and perusal during library hours. We also host lectures, workshops and screenings. Our mission is to stimulate discussion between areas of esoteric knowledge both old and new. We welcome submissions to the review journal as well as proposals for events. Please join us as we continue to investigate the far reaches of knowledge and experience!
Our library is completely nonprofit and is maintained by private donations only. If you are interested in borrowing or donating please visit the appropriate page.

There will soon be honey for sale during library hours. There is also lip balm, essential oil mixtures and flower remedies.
The sauna is closed until fall. Take a cold bath!
Lots of new books have arrived! Donations, purchases and free books! Check out some of the examples below!
T.H.E.L. has a special section for handmade books and comics. We do not check these out but are happy to provide an archive of special material for our library guests. Please send us your homemade books, zines, and comics.
The T. Hill Esoteric Library has thousands of members in the form of WORMS and BEES! Our worm bin is a living section of the library, if you would like to see how a worm compost bin operates stop by during library hours. We would be happy to give you a tour of the poop factory and answer any questions you might have. The bees are not as accessible, but if you are very interested we can show you the hive.
