Mary Webb
The library is named in honour of one of the best known Shropshire authors, Mary Webb, who lived in the area and used Shropshire as a vivid backdrop to her work.
A large plaque in memory of Mary Webb can be seen on the wall behind the library counter. It was commissioned by The Mary Webb Society and presented to the library in October 1977, the fiftieth anniversary of the author's death. It was engraved on slate by the artist Gerry Powell.
The head was copied from a tinted photograph donated to the society by the late Mrs. Winifred Edge, of Wem, who as a child had been Mary's bridesmaid. Around the portrait are sketches from nature representing scenes from the author's novels.
