Project on display, as well as a retail space with items of Long Now
interest available to the public starting Friday, June 2nd.

Long Now Foundation, visit our Long Now Library, and discuss projects
past, present and future with other interesting people.

We open at 10am and close at 5pm, admission is free.

The Long Now Foundation was established in 01996* to develop the
Clock and Library projects, as well as to become the seed of a very
long term cultural institution. The Long Now Foundation hopes to
provide counterpoint to today's "faster/cheaper" mind set and promote
"slower/better" thinking. We hope to creatively foster responsibility
in the framework of the next 10,000 years.

The term was coined by one of our founding board members, Brian Eno.
When Brian first moved to New York City and found that in New York
here and now meant this room and this five minutes, as opposed to the
larger here and longer now that he wa s used to in England. We have
since adopted the term as the title of our foundation as we are
trying to stretch out what people consider as now.

solve the deca-millennium bug which will come into effect in about
8,000 years.
