A community-led a free library and reading room at the Sycamore health centre yard that will serve 415 neighbors.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Sycamore health centre yard, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,700.
It will serve about 415 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $2,700 goes:
• Materials: $2,100
• Permits and inspections: $95
• Safety equipment and signage: $240
• Tools hire and delivery: $265

Thanks for sharing this, Petra. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My mother had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Nuremberg
wishing you the best. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Nuremberg.
shared this with my family. I went through something like this 8 years ago and strangers helped me out. God bless
Hang in there. Hope you get there. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money!
