THE LIBRARY
Picture books about nursing a sick kitten — told as silent-film frames: intertitles, sickroom scenes, a spoon of fisik, a close-up when it matters. Free in the browser for small readers and anyone who likes intertitles.
Opening shelf: 10 books. More stories on the shelf monthly — always care, never ticker copy.

How the shelf works
One path per story
Each book is its own page, run as a silent-film frame deck — not a third-party PDF magazine, and not auto-printed from the meme reel. Every story is about caring for a poorly kitten in some way: night watch, basket nursery, lace pillow, tall-hat physician, white apron, dawn recovery, and home again, well.
The 1903 film is public domain. These books are new tellings for the picture house. New volumes join the shelf on a monthly cadence.
