	Philip Larkin (1922-1985)
		His first post was in the Public Library at Wellington, Shropshire, where he spent three years, from November 1943.
		It seems that Wellington made an impression on him and certainly the library did, for, in antiquated premises, he had to stoke a reluctant boiler, shelve hundreds of equally antiquated and dust laden books and, virtually single-handed, attempt to bring the service into the twentieth century.
		In 1962 Wellington Library was enlarged and modernised and Philip Larkin returned to the town where he was still affectionately remembered to formally open the building.
