Library of the Palgolak church in New Crobuzon, at the northern ends of Brock Marsh and Spit Hearth.
It did not lend books, but it allowed readers access at all times. It had the greatest collection of religious manuscripts known in Bas-Lag, and attracted followers of numerous religions.
The disciples of Palgolak believed that everything known by a worshipper was immediately known by Palgolak. Their mission was primarily for the glory of knowledge, so they were sworn to admit everyone into their library.
The librarian was Gedrecsechet.
