The relaxed book group is back on Tuesday (29th, 2

The relaxed book group is back on Tuesday (29th, 2-3pm). It is a friendly group for anyone who loves books but doesn’t want the pressure of a traditional book club.

Rather than reading a specific book, we share what’s on our bookshelf or simply come for tea, biscuits and company in the beautiful book-filled atmosphere of The Morrab library.

No library membership is required and there’s no compulsory reading list.

Audiobook listeners are just as welcome as traditional readers.

We explore all types of books, swap books and share recommendations. Our discussions focus on what we’re looking for in a book and whether and when, we’ve found it.

More info and booking email via the link in our bio

Marlene is a Canadian environmental artist living & working on the island of Newfoundland. Her work has been presented in over 350 exhibitions & screenings across Canada & internationally. In this talk, she will show works in collaboration with Indigenous Inuit and Innu elders in northern Labrador, & her own elderly relatives on the island of Newfoundland.

Find out more about the talk & booking info via the link in our bio. Entry to this event is free but donations are welcomed to help support The Morrab Library (suggested £5). Refreshments will be provided after the talk.

This week, we welcomed school children from Concarneau, the city in Brittany twinned with Penzance. They enjoyed a treasure hunt, explored atlases and old photos of Penwith, and spent time drawing pictures of the library. We also swapped new books for our respective libraries, so look out for new French language titles to borrow soon!
