We're experiencing deja vu at the Library as our internet and phones are down again! We're doing what we can to repair it - but be aware that the internet speed in the Library may be extremely slow.

‘To thine own self be true’ (Hamlet). It’s Shakespeare week!

We do have a soft spot for the bard at the Library. Our collection includes his works, books about his life and DVD’s of performances.

‘As luck would have it’ (The Merry Wives of Windsor) our collection is housed in the Literature room in and around a beautiful cabinet, so we won’t send you on a ‘wild goose chase’ (Romeo and Juliet).

Tomorrow is the first official day of Spring! It’s finally here! To coincide with the equinox, why not search the shelves of the Natural History room?

We’re particularly lucky to be situated within the wonderful Morrab Gardens - so this section is helpful to identify the exotic plants that surround us (when one of the superb gardeners isn’t about to ask!).

In May 2025, Marlene Creates, a Canadian environmental artist living and working on the island of #Newfoundland, delivered an intriguing talk about her work.

In this talk, Marlene Creates shows works done in collaboration with Indigenous Inuit and Innu elders in northern Labrador, and her own elderly relatives on the island of Newfoundland.
