+# Barry's Little Objects in C Library
+
+Barry's Little Objects in C Library (libBLOC) is a library for C programs,
+aiming to improve internal resource and memory management.  It accomplishes
+this by providing structures and functions to instantiate, reference count, and
+safely release "objects".  Programs that take advantage of this library can
+implement their own object types.  The library also provides a set of objects
+(e.g. List) that may be useful to the program.
+
+## Objects
+
+Programs can define a different types of objects by declaring an `ObjectType`
+structure.  Objects of this type can then be created and operated on using the
+standard functions the library provides for all objects.  Objects can implement
+their own functions too.
+
+## Lists
+
+`List` objects are, as the name suggests, a way to organise a collection of
+objects.  Lists can be created to only hold objects of a certain type, or can
+work on all types of object.  A list is a linear set of objects, and can be
+traversed in order.
+
+## Trees
+
+A `Tree` object works similarly to a list, except that it is implemented as a
+binary search tree.  If the objects being stored must be sorted or frequently
+searched then trees will provide a more efficient solution.
+
+## Iterators
+
+`Iterator` objects exist to make traversing list and tree objects easy.
