An independent library established in 1818 situated in the beautiful Morrab Gardens

It is one of the largest - ranking sixth, with more than 40,000 volumes and is strong in literature, history, biography, antiquities, topography and travel and religion. It houses a marvellous series of collections which have gradually been acquired since the library was founded in 1818. The Jenner Room has brought together its extensive Cornish collection and its holdings on the other Celtic countries as a centre for Celtic studies.
