Penzance LitFest presents: Penwith Local History Group - Hidden Histories from the Morrab Library

This year’s presentation from firm LitFest favourites Penwith Local History Group will feature some of the treasures to be found in the Morrab Library. These range from beautifully designed book plates and insights into domestic crafts to the career of librarian Olive Symons, who worked behind the desk for 46 years. You may already know that the Morrab is full of wonderful things to read – but there’s a whole lot more to to discover too.
