A community-led a free library and reading room at Cedar Park that will serve 444 neighbors.
🇺🇸 United States1,210 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Cedar Park, but no funding.
We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $640, and the remaining cost is $1,000.
It will serve about 444 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $1,000 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $230
• Safety equipment and signage: $270
• Tools hire and delivery: $500

hang in there. Hope this works out for you. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Greetings from New Delhi.
Thanks for sharing this. More neighborhoods should do this. Don't lose heart. A few weeks ago I was in a hole too and it changed faster than I expected. Thinking of San Diego.
Thanks for sharing this. Hope this works out for you. It's not much but it's yours. God bless
