Marx Memorial Library Flood Appeal

Marx Memorial Library Flood Appeal
- £37,500 raised, £12,500 to go! Can you help?

On 24 September 2019 the Marx Memorial Library suffered a devastating flood. Problems with our flat roof and drainage system meant water gushed through our storerooms. Thanks to a collective effort – MML staff, volunteers, trustees, the fire brigade and Islington Heritage – we avoided major damage to our collections.

However, this event has given impetus to an urgent programme of works to
