Library

Skybrary open catalog

Browse curated public-domain and open educational works. Search and filter by language, subject, and license. Download starter kits with full license passports. The same work IDs run offline on a SkyCache village node.

Honest scope: open heritage subset only — not a complete archive of every text ever written. Not free commercial satellite broadband. Public domain / open / authorized content only.

Mission & plan Deploy a node GitHub

Mission

Protect the future of humanity by building the Sky Library — resilient, open, catastrophe-aware distribution of written knowledge. Online for those who can reach the web. Offline for schools, clinics, villages, and disaster zones via SkyCache nodes and USB mules.

Online

This portal: browse/search, license passports, starter kit downloads.

Offline

Same works on a Pi-class node: FTS5 search, PWA reader, USB packs. Operator: skybrary pack and legal Gutenberg catalog import.

Download starter kits

Small dual-access sample zips with license pages. Larger village kits build on a node with pack profiles (literacy-1gb, emergency-health, stem-2gb, …).
