Cornish Language Exhibit

About the event

The Library and Archives team will have a St Piran’s Day Exhibition on Cornish Language and Dialect in the Penryn Campus Library from Monday 3 March onwards.

The display will use materials from the Library & Archives Collections and highlight the role language and dialect play in Cornish identity and community and show people the joy of learning Cornish.

What is the key accessibility information?

The exhibition will be displayed in Penryn Campus Library, Level 1 in the Exchange. Level 1 of the library can be a bit busy as it is a thoroughfare from the Exchange to the Stannary.  There is lift access to all areas throughout The Exchange and Library and a disabled toilet in Penryn Campus Library Level 1, and the Exchange Building, Level 1.

The Blue Zone and Reading Room on Level 2 in the library are Quiet Study Areas. There is also the Retreat Room within the Reading Room on Level 2.
