Let's build a free library and reading room together in Munich
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a free library and reading room - we need $3,400 for materials.
🇩🇪 Munich, Bavaria, Germany1,266 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 9 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Lotus community hall, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $3,400.
It will serve about 135 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $3,400 goes:
• Materials: $2,400
• Permits and inspections: $290
• Safety equipment and signage: $360
• Tools hire and delivery: $350
Every share and every dollar helps.

Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Seda.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($2,400) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Ask me anything else.
Wishing you peace, Seda. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Wish I lived closer to Likoni so I could bring a meal.
Thanks for sharing this, Seda. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Take care
Good luck, Seda. Looking forward to the next update. Greetings from Patras.
Wishing you the best, Seda. Hope the build day goes well, wish I lived closer. We lost years of savings to something like this so I get it.
Thinking of you and your family, Seda. Great idea, hope you get there. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless
Thinking of you and your family, Seda. Great idea, hope you get there. Put this on a community board in Istanbul this morning. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Seda. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. Put this on a community board in Vitória da Conquista this morning. All the best.
Sending strength, Seda. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. My neighbor in Pasig donated after I showed her your page
