The Great Library of Alexandria

The greatest library of ancient culture built in Alexandria, Egypt some time around 145 B.C. It was burned down when the city was sieged and it is believed to have held near endless ancient knowledge. It has a sort of memetic reputation as many believe the "Burning of the Great Library of Alexandria" Set humanities technology and knowledge back several thousand years.

"Stupid people like you wouldn't exist if the library of Alexandria never burned down." -As an insult to intelligence
"You're the kind of person that would burn down the Great Library of Alexandria aren't you?"-As an insult to say someone is mean/selfish

dome in the Ware Library 

at the University of Pennsylvania, when one receives fellatio in the Ware Library, a library in the Memorial Tower in the Quad. It is a popular hookup spot for naive freshmen and grenades. (See: grenade )

friend: Dude, I just got dome in the Ware Library.

Lazy library 

Google books. Where you look to next when the libraries are closed, or if you're just plain lazy

Jim waited until midnight to start his research paper, so he took a few caffeine pills and opened up the lazy library

National Library of Wales 

National Library of Wales - the national storage for Welsh books (super digitisation now!), closed in the evenings, closed on Saturdays, closed also on Sundays and during snowfall!

Welsh-speakers are preferred here even though the head of this place comes from England, also: boring exhibitions and bad coffee!

Very good history here - and experts in their fields.

You cannot take your books home. Once staff "have their foot in there", they can rest, play online games, dream, be depressed - and be off-sick as much as they like. A big social club it seems to the interested outsider. Just another institution.

Hiya - there's another exhibition about Dylan Thomas in the National Library of Wales.

National Library of Wales 

Old place, "full" of old people - situated on Penglais Hill in Aberystwyth. They want to impress each other there with "hellos and sut maes" (and The Assembly!). A good collection of very good books! Unfortunately not appealing to the wider public!

It could do better - well, certain things never change. Go there for the view! Good employer in the area. It is a beautiful building. Strange librarian I would not trust though.

Helo, sut mae? Ydych chi'n brysur? Hello - you are well? Off for some gos' (gossip) at the National Library of Wales.
