Following the Flame at the National Library of Wales

Nathan Stephens by Lorraine Bewsey

The National Library of Wales in Aberystwyth  is currently showing an exhibition of all things Olympic, Paralympic and, most importantly, Welsh.  Funded by the Legacy Trust UK, this major exhibition includes memorabilia such as medals and torches as well as special paintings and photographs and extracts from interviews with leading Welsh athletes.


The exhibition is running (ahem) until the 16th of June.  So if you are visiting the area (perhaps to follow the actual flame?) then pop in for a look.

Exercise Your Mind This Summer!

On Monday The Guardian published the 2013 incarnation of its well-regarded University Guide.  According to the league table, Cardiff Metropolitan University is the top  "new" Welsh university and the 3rd placed university in Wales overall.

At Cardiff Met we have an excellent collection of library resources and this summer we are opening the doors of our learning centres to the general public as part of a pilot scheme run in collaboration with CLIC (Cardiff : Libraries in Co-operation).  Subjects covered by our well-stocked libraries include art & design; education; health; business and, of course, sport.

In order to take advantage of the scheme you must be aged 16  or over and a member of a Cardiff public library or Cardiff & Vale College library.  Pick up a flyer/application from your home library today and come and visit us soon!
