A library can be more than just a library

An early morning visit to the Cornish Studies Library. A meeting was planned there but snow has fallen in the night and higher roads in the Camborne/Redruth area are treacherous so we postpone until tomorrow.

 I have a chance to look at the  glass cases in the exhibition space with Kim Cooper: Heart of Conflict is due to open on Tuesday 17 February.
This library is more than just a library: while I'm there an elderly man calls by just to say that he'd seen a piece in Interiors magazine this month featuring a Cornish house. He thought they would like to know.
Regulars are deeply engrossed in study.
A unexpected bonus: Cornwall Libraries are divesting their stocks of Cornish church guides and I find one on Paul Church published by the Newlyn Press in 1910.

Visited Paul Church late last year to talk to the vicar, Andrew Yates, about his work there and the remarkable memorial window to one of the Bolitho family. Andrew helped to get Bridging Arts projects with migrant workers and local people off the ground in west Cornwall.
