I worked in the 'old' library many years ago - the atmosphere of the reference library and the smell of the newspaper reading room on a wet day........memories, memories!!   I have not lived in Swansea for nearly 40 years but your new library sounds wonderful!    :)

Yes, Bernard, I went yesterday (Wednesday).

It's new, clean, well organised, and has everything you want from a library.  Now I'm going to sound right like a right old misery - but oh, I miss the character!  ::)
