Climate change has not just drenched our streets but also washed away the dreams and stories held within the heart of our Khirki Library. Over 2,000 of our books in our collection of 10,000 – vessels of knowledge, joy, and shared experiences – now lie in ruins, victims of a changing climate that threatens our very way of life. There is an urgent need for your help to withstand these calamitous climate emergencies so that we can rebuild these sanctuaries of the mind and spirit. It is imperative that as we rebuild and repair, we also plan and prepare for the future so that we can combat these climate calamities - whether extreme heatwave condition, flooding and whatever the future throws at us. Because we cannot afford to deprive our community of these safe spaces Your donation will help us rebuild these palaces for the people, ensuring access to knowledge and community for all, regardless of the weather. We all together can rebuild this space and have the joy of reading, the comfort of shared stories, and the strength of unity.
