Fellow volunteer and colleague at The Community Library Project, Michael Creighton writes beautifully about the role of a free library in these times:
Those of us who work in the free library movement, which is as much about bringing people together as it is about issuing books, have faced many challenges in the past few months.
Please read the whole thing. I’ve been involved in the project for a few years now and can honestly say it is possibly the important work I do, professionally or otherwise. The impact the libraries have had on the lives of its members is staggering.
As with many, many things right now, the movement needs support. If you are in India or have an Indian bank account, please consider donating. If you have friends in India, please send them to that page. If are outside India, please consider fulfilling parts of the Amazon book wishlist.
