Housed inside the delightful Morrab Gardens, the library contains a wide range of both fiction and non-fiction books in floor to ceiling shelves in the rambling rooms of a delightful Georgian building. Included in the stock are many fascinating collections, including many of specific local interest, and a photographic archive . The library also hosts a number of free lectures on topics of cultural interest. There is a small membership fee, but the experience of browsing the card index or dipping into such an extensive and eclectic stock is worth every penny of the modest charge.
