The Morrab was chock full of happy library members last weekend as we celebrated with our 2013 Christmas party. The wine flowed and the table was overflowing with plates of delicious treats.
Members also wandered around our new extension making suitably admiring sounds and looking at some of the images on display in the Photo Archive room.

Glyn and Alan have been toiling away to put together a fantastic exhibition to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the voyage of the Rosebud to Westminster in 1937.
The crew of the Rosebud carried a petition from the people of Newlyn Town, in an atempt to save fishermens’ cottages from wholesale demolition by the Penzance Council under their interpretation of the Housing Acts 1925 – 1935. You can find out a little more about this history
here, but for a more insightful look, come and see the exhibition in the library, featuring photographs, a bit of the keel, and a model of the Rosebud.
The
exhibition runs between 17th and 27th October in the Reading Room at the library.
We look forward to seeing you here!
