Our city is a sad place at the minute, much like the rest of the country. But it makes me heartbroken to think that children will miss out on an opportunity to read and explore new books and stories in a community space which is meant to be safe for them and their families, especially over the summer holidays.
I’d like to fundraise for the Spellow Library, to hopefully replenish some of the books which were damaged in last nights mindless riots, and repair the space for those who need and use it the most. Our children should be able to find solace and joy in books and reading, and have a nice place to do it. Let’s try and make that happen again and show the world what community in Liverpool really means2

Liverpool library torched by far-right rioters receives £50,000 in donations in one day for books. Indepndent August 5, 2024.
And the ones sparking the riots - Farage and Co. - remain untouched. But at least we haven't got to US stage of the Republicans wanting to remove certain books from schools and libraries. Hopefully that will be another signal for Trump to be cast into the dustbin of history.
