Earlier this week library staff visited the new "Hayle Herstory" exhibition at @hayleheritagecentre , which includes a fascinating display about Elizabeth Carne. You can see the book of her beautiful shell drawings (on loan from our Archive) on display next to some of the minerals from her personal collection.

The exhibition shines a light on many fascinating women including: workers at the Cryséde Silk Works; writer, poet, & Cornish activist, Kitty Lee Jenner, and Constructivist Artist, Margaret Mellis. Have a look at the Hayle Heritage Centre website (link in our bio) to find out more.
