For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a free library and reading room. This year a group of 16 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Harmony bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $1,250. It will serve about 178 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $1,250 goes: • Materials: $920 • Permits and inspections: $80 • Safety equipment and signage: $65 • Tools hire and delivery: $185 I'll keep this page updated with receipts as things happen. - Tatiane
