Home / The shelves

The room itself

Three shelf runs, one side bay, and a table for six

The Think Meridian reading room is a street-level space on Gudong 1-gil. It holds the Solana learning library: paper around NFTs and digital collectibles, arranged so a visitor can see the order before they sit.

Records

Mint notes, supply comparisons, and annotated examples of master editions and printed listings. This is the run pulled first when a letter contains a public address.

Makers

Artist interviews, studio statements, and the few catalogues the room has been able to buy or receive as gifts. A brief often starts here and walks back to Records.

Care

Notes on update authority, image hosts, and what a broken path means for a collector who wants the picture findable later. Cotton gloves live at the end of this run.

How a visit uses the floor

The long table is for Saturdays and for quiet individual reading when no workshop is set. Eight readers can use the main room besides a private appointment. The side bay has a screen, a single desk, and the fan that used to roar in August and now lives elsewhere.

Bags go on the hook rail. Phones stay in the tray by the door during a workshop. Pencils are in a cup on each table; ink stays in your bag so a borrowed catalogue is not marked. Photography of another visitor’s notes is declined at the door, in the same sentence as the tea.

Before you cross

Write for a date first. The confirmation names the shelf plan or the Saturday question, and it reminds you which afternoon boat readers from Haenam and Mokpo have actually caught. Mondays and Sundays the door is shut; those are letter days.

If you only want to see the order of the room and then decide, ask for a short look when you book. A look is not a substitute for the prepared hour, and the fee for a shelf appointment still applies once the stack has been pulled.
