C.S. Lewis once said - “You can never get a cup of tea large enough or a book long enough to suit me.”

It’s National Tea Day today, and we couldn't let the occasion pass without a nod to the elixir that fuels the Morrab Library! We can’t begin to guess at the quantity of tea our staff, volunteers and members enjoy each year.

The three Cornish women, believed to be members of the Perry family of Helston, look to be putting the world to rights over a good strong cuppa. They could be library members!

Arthur Quiller-Couch (1863-1944), who often wrote under the pseudonym ‘Q’, was a Cornish novelist and a literary critic. His anthology, the Oxford Book of English Verse, was the cornerstone of English poetry for more than half a century.

A dedicated website was created by members of the library, where you will find an important and large collection of online resources relating to Q, his family and his work.

Check out the link in bio to find out more, and visit the library to borrow Q’s works.

The Morrab Gardens are looking as pretty as a picture today (albeit a bit blowy!)

Speaking of pictures, we hold various images of the gardens throughout their lifetime in our archive, but have you dropped in and checked the travel and geography section of our Jenner Room?

Here, a beautiful collection of Penzance picture postcards can be found in Cyril Orchard's book.

The sun appears to be playing hide and seek, so here's another garden, this time in Penzance!

This month’s Photo Fridays are taking a peek behind the greenery at the gardens of Cornwall.

This is a 1964 aerial view of Morrab Gardens with the coast, Newlyn and Penlee Point in the background.
