Biblioteca de Catalunya / Google

Excellent news, with an interesting addition to the library’s name. The Library of Catalonia is … the national library of Catalonia, clarify those vile Spanish.

(Recently when I went to pick up my new membership card the guy on the desk looked at my ID and then at the card, and snipped up the card with scissors and pleasure.
–The surname on the card has a space [ap Simon], he said, while the one on your ID doesn’t; you’ll have to go back and re-apply using the correct version of your surname.
–It’s the fault of the repressive British state, I said, which denies the fundamental right of every Celt to a space in his surname.
Silently he pressed the button and output a new card.)
