A rich resource for research, or a place to borrow the latest novel

The Morrab Library. Photo by Glyn Richards.The Morrab Library is an independent library established in 1818, housed in a Georgian manor house in the beautiful Morrab Gardens in Penzance, Cornwall. We hold over 40,000 books on floor-to-ceiling shelves as well as archives and a rich photographic collection.

We are currently commissioning our new extension bringing us much-needed extra storage space as well as state-of-the art digitisation facilities.

We are open Tuesday - Friday 10am-4pm and Saturday 10am-1pm.
