Queen Camilla has donated nearly 70 books to the damaged Spellow Library Hub

The library has been the focal point of a wave of support from across the country

The Queen read to Liverpool schoolchildren on a royal visit to the city’s Central Library last year

Queen Camilla has written to the Liverpool City Region Mayor Steve Rotheram expressing her sorrow at recent events in the region, particularly the attack on the Spellow Library Hub in Liverpool.

A noted advocate for reading and its power to inspire, Queen Camilla’s letter was accompanied with the donation of a box of nearly 70 books, as a contribution to the rebuilding of the Spellow Library Hub in Walton.

Welcoming the donation, Mayor Rotheram said:

“I’d like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Queen Camilla for her thoughtful letter and gift of books which give a much-needed boost for the people of the city region at a very difficult time.

“Her Majesty’s gift, along with donations of books and support from hundreds of authors and thousands of other people, reminds us that the good in this world far outweighs the bad and bolsters our determination to come together and rebuild in the wake of recent events.

“The burning of a library was such a shocking image, symbolising the ignorance of those who seek to divide us. With the help of the Queen’s donation, and of everyone else who has given their support, we will ensure that they do not succeed.”

Councillor Liam Robinson, Leader of Liverpool City Council, said:

“It’s very thoughtful of Queen Camilla to reach out to support Spellow Library Hub in its darkest hour. I’d like to thank her on behalf of everyone in Walton and Liverpool for this touching act of generosity. Her gift is a great example of how much we as a nation value our libraries and the power of reading. This has been illustrated by the overwhelming response we’ve received since that depressingly mindless act of vandalism, be it through the Go Fund Me donations or the #ReadingNotRioting campaign led by author Marnie Riches. It’s so encouraging to see that hope has now replaced hate, and its power is far greater and its legacy much deeper.”

Queen Camilla, who read to Liverpool schoolchildren on a royal visit to the city’s Central Library last year, provided a box of 67 books for the library, including works by Bernardine Evaristo, Hilary Mantel and Michael Morpurgo.

The books donated by Queen Camilla.

Her Majesty has long been a champion of literature, and the power of reading to educate and inspire, and established The Queen’s Reading Room charity, which grew from a book club Her Majesty established during the COVID-19 pandemic.

A “GoFundMe” set up to raise funds for Spellow Library Hub has now raised nearly £250,000 and hundreds of authors, including Philip Pullman and Val McDermid, Nigella Lawson and Liverpool-born, Children’s Laureate Frank Cotterill-Boyce, have donated books or offered support for the library.

The 67 books donated by Queen Camilla include:

Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen

Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo

The Tiger who Came to Tea by Judith Kerr

The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini

Archangel by Robert Harris

War Horse by Michael Morpurgo

Swallows and Amazons by Arthur Ransome

Pachinko by Min Jin Lee

Charlotte Gray by Sebastian Faulks

Hairy Maclary from Donaldsons Dairy by Lynley Dodd

The Mirror and the Light by Hilary Mantel

My Brilliant Friend by Elena Ferrante

The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro

The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse by Charlie Mackesy

Kid Rock didn’t hold back, declaring: “You bring a man in a dress to the Super Bowl? Then don’t call it football, call it a circus.” To him, the Super Bowl stage isn’t just another performance — it’s the moment the whole world is watching, a symbol of strength and American spirit. That’s why he fiercely opposed the idea of Bad Bunny, a man with an eccentric dress-wearing style, headlining the show. He made his stance clear: “I’ll walk away as an NFL fan if they let Bad Bunny take that stage. This isn’t just a bad choice — it’s an insult to American music.” Details 👇

Television Just Broke Its Own Chains. In a move no one saw coming, Rachel Maddow, Stephen Colbert, and Jimmy Kimmel walked away from the system — and built a newsroom that has every major network shaking. No advertisers. No corporate censors. No watered-down scripts. Just three of the biggest names in media tearing down the old rules and declaring war on silence. Maddow brings her unflinching analysis, Colbert his razor-sharp satire, and Kimmel his fearless late-night voice — a trio ready to deliver stories the networks never wanted told. Why would these figures risk their careers to challenge the very system that made them? What truths are they preparing to reveal that television never dared to air? And most importantly, could this bold rebellion ignite a revolution in how news itself is told? Full story below ⤵️⤵️⤵️
