Cornwall Libraries

When local author David Krogh got in touch, we were delighted to hear that he'd written much of his debut book at Penryn Library.

"I literally couldn’t have done it without the space, the books I ordered for research and the wonderful team.

Penryn Library has become vital to me and my process - - it’s my office, my zen-spot and when I’m there I see how much it means to others in our community too."

It's wonderful to hear how our spaces are valued. Our partner libraries work closely with their communities to support emerging talent, with many hosting writers groups, poetry workshops and author visits, as well as making space for people to come in and work.

We've got inspiration in buckets, free computer access and many of our libraries publicise the best 'quiet times' to help you time your visit around livelier Rhymetime and toddler sessions for when you're looking to focus.

Things have come full circle for David as his book is now available to reserve on the library catalogue! See the link in the comments to reserve a copy.
