A reminder that we have our Spring Fair, taking place on Saturday 21st March from 10am until 2pm.

As ever, there will be stalls throughout the Library (inside and out!) featuring local makers showcasing their crafts, as well as many plants, second-hand books and historic photos for sale, alongside our raffle. The much-loved refreshments room will return with delicious homemade cakes.

Some of the stalls will be cash only, so please bring some change along with you to help support your library.

Members and non-members alike are all welcome, so please bring friends and family along too.

We hope to see you there!

A happy St Piran’s Day to everyone!

Our magnificent housekeeper Laura is also the maestro of the Golowan Band, who lead the Furry Dance throughout Penzance, as part of the celebrations on Cornwall’s national day.
She dropped in before the parade to tidy the library - now that’s multi-tasking!
