A £2.25m rescue package to protect jobs at the National Library of Wales has been announced by the Welsh Government.
President Meri Huws welcomed the money, saying it would allow it to address the recommendations of a review.
An extra £3.95m will go to National Museum Wales, Amgueddfa Cymru. The money will be provided over the current and next financial years.
The Welsh Government has faced criticism for failing to increase its grant funding for the library, including an accusation from one senior source at the institution that ministers failed to recognise the importance of our cultural institutions .
