''Val'' comes home to St Marys library

After nine long years ''Val'' is back where she belongs at St Marys library.  The now defunct Encore Historical Sewing Group decided to sew a replica of the women's uniform that was worn at the ammunition filing factory at St Marys. In September 2009 an attempt was made to start the project. By 2013 the project was finished and ''Val'' was placed in a glass cabinet and put into St Marys Library.
