We would like to introduce you to the library’s

We would like to introduce you to the library’s new tote bag - on sale now at the library.

Made from natural cotton with long sturdy handles, the bags are perfect for carrying your library loans home with you, or filling up with treats and gifts from one of our Fairs.

The beautiful image of the library, nestled within the Morrab Gardens, was designed by our very own library assistant, Harriet Jade Harrow.

Bags cost £10 each, and proceeds will go to the care and maintenance of your library and its important and special collections. Why not buy one for yourself, or as a Christmas gift?

We have another wonderful Library Talk up on our website - this time from Dr Russell Blacker.

Musical archeology: the reconstruction of eleven works from the Eton Choirbook.

Find the recording here: https://morrablibrary.org.uk/librarytalks/

After watching, any donation, no matter how small, really helps the Library as an independent charity.

This month’s theme is reflection - taking a moment to look back, before we all leap forward into a new month and then a new year!

And what better way to start than reflecting on how grateful we are to all of our amazing volunteers for their hard work. This afternoon we were able to spend a little bit of time away from the hubbub enjoying afternoon tea with them.

Without their hard work, expertise and dedication, the Library would not be what it is today.
