Summary
Poetry lovers can challenge staff at a Cornish library to find any poem from their huge collection and database. Cornwall Reference Library in Truro is holding the event to celebrate this year's National Poetry Day on Thursday, October 5. The library contains more than 125,000 poems in its main collection and every year staff offer to help people to find that forgotten poem. Staff say that usually their search is successful but occasionally some poems prove more elusive. The service is free, with only a small charge for photocopies or postage. If you have a favourite poem you would like to read again call the Freephone line 0800 032 2345, e-mail reference.library@ cornwall.gov.uk or ask at your local library.

Now, Orange has apologised for the "abnormal and regrettable" delays and has agreed to pay the full sum owed.See the full content of this document
