Morrab Library Penzance

The library is committed to improving its accessibility, and we welcome all visitors to our public events. However, we are aware of limitations due to the location and historic nature of the building, and are working to improve these situations where we can. ThA ramp is available on request to assist access. e main entrance to the library is accessed by two sets of stairs, a single step, and then another set of two steps. From this entrance, there is level access across the whole of the ground floor. There is an accessible toilet located on the ground floor. There is lift access to the basement, and level ground to the Newspaper Room there. Lift access is also provided to the first floor, with level access to the Photo Archive studio. However, to access the rest of the first floor, there are two sets of steps. Six steps lead to the Theology Room and toilet, and then a further five steps lead to the remainder of the first floor. We apologise that these areas are not wheelchair accessible. The first floor of the library is normally a quiet space, though the ground floor can be louder, especially during events. If sounded the fire alarm makes a repeated warning, and alarms emit a flashing light. A Hearing Loop system is available at reception. Assistance dogs are welcome, and we will be happy to provide water for them. We shall continue to strive to enhance and improve access throughout the library wherever possible.
