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.
