My Book Nook


My lecture/seminar schedule leaves me 3 days free every week. My housemates are jealous. My last semester self would be jealous, too.

It's Friday. I'm writing from the the third floor of the South Wales Miners' Library. I think it's going to be my favorite study spot. It's right in the Village, so I don't have to walk far. It's tucked away at the top of the hill, hidden by a campus building and the bend in the road.

 

 

 

It was established in 1973 as a research center. It has a valuable collection of resources about the coalfield.

 

 

It's just the perfect size to not be overwhelming. Lots of natural light comes in from the windows, the books are in good condition, and it's warm.

 

 

They had a little book sale. I bought a couple ones in pretty, old binding for a pound each.

Don't you love it?
