Ferguson library gets online support

While many businesses in Ferguson have closed their doors, the library — two blocks from the police station and centrally located among the protests — is open. On Tuesday when schools were closed, children participated in crafts and story time programmes and ate lunch. On Wednesday, reporters worked in the quiet space, while business owners took part in archive-preservation programmes…

And out of this quiet space, a community fundraiser — with anonymous roots — grew, providing 3,000 donations for the library in the first 20 hours.

Using the PayPal button on the library’s home page, many have given what they can, says [Scott Bonner, the library director]. That may be $5 or $20. Others have given larger sums.

Here’s a link to the Library’s home page, where you can find the donate button in the top-right area
