Let's build a free library and reading room together in Los Angeles

For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 27 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Jacaranda Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,300. It will serve about 448 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in June 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 $2,300 goes: • Materials: $1,300 • Permits and inspections: $240 • Safety equipment and signage: $440 • Tools hire and delivery: $320 Ask me anything below before you decide. I'd rather you were sure.
