Authors make donation to Grenfell library
CHILDREN'S author Ruta Sepetys and illustrator Lane Smith have donated £1,000 to the library near Grenfell Tower.
Following their Carnegie and Kate Greenaway children’s book award wins last year, the pair have announced the joint donation to North Kensington Library.
The cash will help fund a special collection of books to support young people in the community who are experiencing grief and shock following the fire.
