Romsey Library is housed in an Old Boy's School of Gothic styled architecture built in 1872 by Romsey Parishioner, William Cowper Temple MP. The Library moved from Romsey Town Hall to this site, opening on 5th December 1968. In 2006 the Library was sympathetically extended and refurbished. The new interior complements the historic architectural features by exposing the restored fireplace in the main library and highlighting the Gothic style windows with commissioned textile art.

Time to get spooky with our this week! 🤩📚

'Femme Feral' by Sam Beckbessinger is today's title.

Hyper-competent start up CFO Ellie is 46-year old and like most women, is already juggling too much. Daughter's not talking to her, husband's not listening to her, and she's got a promotion coming up at work. It's an inconvenient time to be beset by mid-life symptoms: coarse hair in new places, hot flushes, insomnia, losing time, finding bloodstains on all her clothing, howling at the moon. Her doctor diagnoses perimenopause. But it's another 28-day cycle that's taking hold. One involving fur, and teeth, and a not insignificant amount of rage.
