Hey all, any spare free parts please send my way for our FH #CommunityLibrary :+1::+1::+1:

@Pauline What do the computer parts go towards?

Brilliant @Londondrz thank you :slight_smile:

@Mr_Robin_Banks The Council may not leave any computers when the library becomes a community library so regardless if our bid is the winning bid or not we’ll probably need to get computers right from the start of it becoming a community library in September!

@Mr_Robin_Banks here’s our bid we submitted to Lewisham Council that’s now been shortlisted :slight_smile:

Just had a chat with our UK MD who has kindly said that he is willing to donate a number of base units, and hopefully accessories towards this cause.

There are stipulations in place, but can discuss this all at the meeting.

That’s brilliant @anon64893700.

The library is also very welcome to my old printer if it’s any use?

Thanks @anon5422159

Might have to see if I can further extend the deal with the MD to try and help others who would love to have a PC but can’t afford one. There are lots knocking around. Just depends how much we have in the was of accessories too.

Thank you all so so much for this, I’ve just read this & it has brought a tear to my eye. The community spirit & support on all levels for our community library bid has completely blown me away :heart_eyes::heart_eyes:

This means so much to me so thanks guys!

At this rate we may even be able to extend on the IT equipment for the library :+1:

What a bastard! Are you generally in need of IT kit? I just disposed of around 120 PCs but I may have more if the occasion arose.
