Yesterday was the centenary of the laying of the foundation stone of the National Library of Wales, and the promotions people there arranged a "human chain" (or as they called it a "cwtsh" - or "hug") around the building to note the event.
It needed at least 400 people to stand in line to actually reach around the building, and this was easily achieved, with loads to spare - so there must have been many more than 400 there on the day. Not bad, as the weather was cold and damp. I gave up on the queue for the free warming cuppa after the event, such was the demand!
I hope that the government were watching and listening, as its definitely time to prepare for the next phase of the building, as the "TLB" (Third Library Building) opened by the Queen in 1996 was designed for 25 years of growth, but looks to be filling up already.
