National Poetry Day

Poetry Day was marked in the library with displays and a poetry competition. Truly amazed by the masses of outstanding poems, we felt the need to appoint an independent judge, an Oxford English graduate - no less! Congratulations to all entrants. Thanks to Mrs King and the Library Committee for all of their hard work and thanks also to everyone who entered.  Well done to the winners!
