Complete with an online catalogue, the comic books are displayed at the café according to category. And in addition to Hungarian publications, a great selection of foreign-language editions – English, German, Italian and Macedonian, African books and even Japanese mangas – line the shelves.
The café receives many donations from local and foreign publishing houses, and collectors. Back in December, they started with a selection of about 300 comic books, a number since doubled in under a month. As we found out, Nem Adom Fel even has an African comic anthology.
Although referred to as a comics library, here books cannot be taken out, only read on the spot. Then again, as enjoying a drink, sandwich and a cake here – all very reasonably priced – serves a good cause, sitting down for a while to read a comic book is hardly a sacrifice. By giving employees a rare opportunity to gain real-world work experience and interact with everyday people in an ordinary environment, Nem Adom Fel lets these workers demonstrate their considerable capabilities, and help fulfil the café’s most important mission.
