Poetic Obituaries: [Ronald Benge] was also a columnist

for Assistant Librarian magazine.

Before Ghana, he made an unsuccessful attempt to set up a library school in Trinidad. He published Bibliography and the Provision of Books in 1963, and from 1967 to 1972 he was at the College of Librarianship Wales in Aberystwyth, and took an MA from University College London. He then went to Nigeria, remaining there until 1986.

In 1980, with Philip Larkin, he became an honorary fellow of the Library Association. Like the poet, Ronald had a keen eye for folly, and also wrote prose and verse.
