The subject matter may not not sound hilarious, it mat even make you cry, but it's also sharp and taut and wry.

Three friends used to be four. One year on from a tragic accident that almost ripped the group apart, Harley, Maggie and Róise still can't face up to any of it: to adulthood, the future, or to one another...

Bring History Home with Cornwall Libraries 🌊📚

When we explore Cornwall's heritage, we rightfully look to our mining roots, fishing villages, and maritime towns. But our local archives also contain remarkable global stories that are deeply woven right into our communities:

🎻 In Truro: Joseph Emidy, a talented African violinist, became one of Cornwall’s most celebrated 19th-century musicians and composers.
⚓ In Falmouth: John Alice found sanctuary here in the 1800s, building a life and family within the maritime community.
📜 In Penryn: Parish archives record the everyday lives of Black residents like Maria Weymouth dating back centuries.

Learning about our past is about discovering the complete, rich picture of where we live.

This black history month, we are highlighting three beautifully illustrated children's books that trace the long, diverse history of Britain:

📖 Black and British: An Illustrated History for Young Readers by David Olusoga
📖 Bright Stars of Black British History by J.T. Williams
📖 Brilliant Black British History by Atinuke

These titles are all available to borrow through Cornwall Libraries. Reserve your copies today through our online catalogue or visit your local library!

He's back!
Detective Matthew Venn returns in the next novel in the Two Rivers series by Ann Cleeves.
Set in a scorching heatwave, Detective Matthew Venn is called in when the body of a young woman is found in the swimming pool of Tide House, a luxurious holiday home belonging to rising political star Paul Armstrong.
Excellent as always, Ann Cleeves excels at character driven thrillers.

Feeling fine doesn't always mean everything's fine. High blood pressure can go unnoticed for years.

That's why Cornwall Libraries lend blood pressure monitors, so people can check from the comfort of home. We spoke with Chaos Radio about the service and why knowing your numbers matters.
