The games of the 32nd Olympiad begin today in Toky

The games of the 32nd Olympiad begin today in Tokyo. Did you know that in 1908, Cornwall's rugby union team won their first County Championship, beating Durham County 17 – 3 in the final at Redruth Recreation Ground, attended by 17,000 fans.
Because they had won the County Championship, the Cornish team was chosen to represent Great Britain in the Olympic Games being held in London later that year.

We're delighted to be open to members five days a week again. Come and visit us between 10.00am and 4.00pm from Tuesday to Saturday.

Appointments to borrow books or browse in the library are no longer necessary, but do get in touch if you’d like to reserve a table at which to work. And the kitchen is open again so you can make yourself a cup of tea! All the details can be found via link in bio.

It may or may not be coming home tonight, but 100 years ago, Cornwall's own St Levan Association Football Club brought home the Silver Cup! Footballers' dodgy haircuts were all the rage back then too it seems...

It's Ladies Final Day at Wimbledon today. These two 'faultless' (see what we did there?) looking locals seem ready for centre court too!
