The funding for newspapers to be avauilable for the general public at Taunton Library has been cut by the Council.
Therefore the Friends of Taunton Library have been fundraising to provide this service.
Zoe Ainsworth-Grigg is a retired Civil Servant and a Friend of Taunton Library. She is a writer and facilitates a creative writing workshop at Taunton Library on the first Wednesday of the month.
At a committee meeting of The FOTL she was horrified to realise there was only enough fundraising to pay for one national broadsheet newspaper. After a vote, it was decided that, The Daily Telegraph was the choice 10/2.
She is a member of the Green Party and while she fully accepts our democratic process, she also believes minority views should be catered for in a democracy and a balanced view provided by our public services.
She wondered how she could help, so she has started a crowdfunder site for The Gardian at Taunton Library. If you feel you can contribute to two years of the paper being available at Taunton Library, please donate.
