For #WorldBookDay we'd like to spotlight @SeeMeOnThePage1 - a community project based at Alpine Grove in E9.
It's a free library of children's and YA books featuring main characters who are black.
Libraries need books and they're always looking for donations of new titles!

We are indeed open to browse and borrow books. Tell all your friends and family and colleagues! We are waiting to welcome everyone and have many new and wonderful books for everyone to enjoy on a cosy autumn evening.
First @hackneylibs books since March,an absolute joy to be able to walk through Clapton Library doors. Every book's barcode number written out by hand as a result of the hackney council cyber attack but they still said please tell your friends we're open! #librariesarenecessities

To keep our users and staff safe we’ve taken the decision to close our physical sites in London & Boston Spa for the time being and suspend events. We will continue to offer as many online services we can so the Library remains open to everyone, wherever you are in the world. 1/3

What novels by women have pandemics and disease-spreading as a central plot point?
We recommend @EmilyMandel's excellent Station Eleven, of course. And Katherine Anne Porter's Pale Horse, Pale Rider.
