What it does
Library lists Project Gutenberg’s top thousand books, most-read first, with multi-volume works grouped and a chapter tree for each. Import your own EPUB, Word, FictionBook, RTF, HTML or text files into the same reader. Translate any chapter with your own model, and ask the reading assistant about what is on the page. The catalogue and every book you open are kept on your computer.

FAQ
Which formats can I import?
EPUB, Word (docx), FictionBook (fb2), RTF, HTML, Markdown and plain text. MOBI, AZW3 and PDF are refused rather than shown as garbage — convert them to EPUB first.
Does it download the catalogue every time?
No. It is kept on your computer and refreshed in the background once a month.
How does VIMS Library connect to the rest of VIMS?
It shares your identity from keys.vims.com and is reachable by agents through MCP and Flow, so it works alongside every other VIMS app.
