A FUNDRAISING appeal to help renovate the Marx Memorial Library (MML) will be launched this week after the building sustained serious damage following a flood.
The library’s collection of 60,000 books was put at risk on September 24 after heavy rainfall led to water gushing through the building.
MML staff and trustees will launch a Lenin 150 fundraising campaign appeal on Friday, with the aim of raising £50,000 by April 22 2020, Vladimir Lenin’s 150th birthday.
