A free library and reading room for Liberty Park: help our neighbors in Moscow

We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a free library and reading room - we need $1,100 for materials.

For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 17 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Liberty Park, but no funding. We have received donated volunteer hours worth about $430, and the remaining cost is $1,100. It will serve about 456 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in September 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $1,100 goes: • Materials: $680 • Permits and inspections: $100 • Safety equipment and signage: $105 • Tools hire and delivery: $215 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to. - Zlata
