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.

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.

Get the National Library of Wales mug.A creature that lurks behind stacks and in between shelves. It will commonly devour small children. Sometimes the monster will reorder books from its favorite to its least favorite rather than adhering to the dewey decimal system. The library monster's greatest foe is the librarian. They are born when a creeper lurks in the shelves for too long and eventually becomes a library monster.
"I've seen that girl lurking around the stacks a lot lately. She's probably going to become a library monster."
