We are so glad you have chosen to nominate a library. Please make sure you nominate a specific library and not a library service, and if possible find out if they have a ‘friends’ group that will be able to process the donation. Friends Groups are independent groups who work with libraries to help create a library service that works for the whole community.
For guidelines on how to create a ‘friends’ group please see the fantastic resource kit on The Library Campaign’s website.

An online shop featuring library-themed clothes is launching thanks to a Kickstarter fundraiser that was able to meet its target at the end of last week. The shop, Public Libraries Apparel, is pledging 20% of its profits every month to public libraries in the UK.
Lottie Begg has turned her love of libraries into a fashion brand during lockdown in a bid to draw attention to their plight and raise vital funds
