Artist and library member John Trigg has donated his collection of drawing books spanning over 40 years, creating a special archive of his beautiful and inspiring art.

Not only is he still adding to the collection, but he has given us permission to sell a selection of his works to raise valuable funds for the library. You can choose a high quality print from one of twelve beautiful images.

Take a look at the prints on link in bio.

‘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!).
