The Kensal Rise library in London was founded by author Mark Twain in 1900 to improve a poor neighborhood by providing free reading materials to the community. Since then, it has been a resource for children and adults in the neighborhood where it is located.
The library was closed last year because of budget cuts. Recently, community members blocked the library doors when workers came to remove the books from the shelves. Help save this historic library founded by one of literature's most revered authors!
