Spellow Lane Library in Liverpool will rise from the ashes.

Destroyed in the riots.

Almost £74,000 raised in 24 hours.
There is a link to the fundraiser in the article above.

That's terrible. Such mindless destruction of a facility that exists for everyone's benefit.

I cannot understand how anyone, with any level of intelligence, believes that destroying a library will somehow make things better in any way whatsoever.

The fundraising is heartening.

I’ve just looked at the link - it’s now at £93,190. Bloody fantastic!

The fundraising is heartening.

Completely agree with this.

It is fantastic.

What's wrong with these idiots??

It also serves as a foodbank.
The mindless stupidity is beyond belief.

I used to go to this library it’s so sad 😢

Yeah the stupidity of destroying a food bank, job centre and library (which so far more bit were warm banks during the energy cost crisis) is beyond any words I will get away with using!

I'm glad people in general are in the right side of humanity.

Quick bump. Amazing to see so much support for this, though I'm sure they will need every penny raised so far and the local council will equally need a lot of cash to fix other damage in the area.

@BodenCardiganNot

Thank you for this.

This was my childhood library. I used to go with my nan so she could get the latest Mills and Boon and Catherine Cookson.

I was very sad to see this, my family still live off County Road

Matt Haig has donated £5000.
I am going to buy a couple of his books today.

Rioters get 2 years and 9 months for their part in the destruction of the library.

Linton Street is about 5 minutes walk from the library, so he destroyed his own community facilities.

So were 2 brothers who looted it in the early hours. Think local news said they got a year.
Nigella was one of the first people to donate to the fund.
