Word of the day is 'growlery' (1853, from Charles Dickens): a place you retreat to for the purposes of growling, muttering, and letting off steam.

Interesting to talk to colleagues in Switzerland, where #libraries are strongly seen as part of the culture sector alongside museums and the arts rather than, say, health, education or Council services as they are in the UK.
