Result of the Limerick competition

Result of the Limerick competition –

Well done to Jeni Kendrick who won the prize with the following verse:

It looked like our library was doomed

The Vale said that closure it loomed

But the Village said no

And wouldn’t let go

And look how our library’s bloomed
