Anti-Racist Community Library in Millennium Park

Come visit our Anti-Racist Community Library in the Millennium Park, Saturday 29th May between 11am-1pm. This library will be located in the Millennium Park fortnightly on Saturdays. Come join us! And learn how to check out a book.

About the Anti-Racist Library: Following the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020, a new spotlight has been shone on the issues of structural racism and inequality. In response to this, the Woodlands Community Anti-Racism group decided a library would help people learn about the issues and give greater visibility to people of colour.

The library has books for people of all ages – children, young people, adults. There are fiction and non-fiction books, serious and light-hearted but all centre the lived experience of people of colour.

This is a FREE library. There is no charge for borrowing books, though you will be required to sign up for membership. Each member can borrow up to 5 books based on the number of people in their household. All books will be quarantined before they are re-loaned and we will follow strict Covid security to keep everybody safe.

This Anti-Racist library is a collaboration between Woodlands Community and Aye Aye Books. Its conception is curated by local Woodlands resident Sapna Agarwal who is also part of Aye Aye Books.

This Library will benefit our community for the days, months and years to come.

Any questions about the library or joining Woodlands Community’s Anti-Racist group please contact eo@woodlandscommunity.org.uk

This Library conception is made possible through the funding of the Bank of Scotland.
