This week, we welcomed school children from Concar

This week, we welcomed school children from Concarneau, the city in Brittany twinned with Penzance. They enjoyed a treasure hunt, explored atlases and old photos of Penwith, and spent time drawing pictures of the library. We also swapped new books for our respective libraries, so look out for new French language titles to borrow soon!

Her forthcoming workshops have both now sold out but please email the library if you'd like to be added to the waiting list for either event.

Here is a photo from 1890 taken at Gurnard's Head Mine. Can you spot the hand cart with the photographer's equipment in it?

@Remilyetc and @pauldelaney.illustration 's wonder

@Remilyetc and @pauldelaney.illustration 's wonderful story, Jenny Peckles Lays Eggs With Speckles was our Easter Storytime book today!

We made egg and cress sandwiches, designed our own easter egg collages, and also managed some colouring-in.

All in all, an 'eggs-celent' time was had by all!
