MORRAB LIBRARY

The Morrab Library is an independent library established in 1818, situated in Penzance's Morrab Gardens overlooking the sea. In Penwith we are fortunate to have a rare, remarkable and rewarding thing - a large independent library... The Morrab Library is rare because it is the only one in Cornwall and there are only approximately 60 surviving in the United Kingdom. It is one of the largest, with more than 70,000 volumes and is strong in literature, history, biography, antiquities, poetry, art and travel, both historical and contemporary.
