      Now THIS impresses me, fantastic work!

      Other folks with this much influence and the ability to fund projects that benefit humanity should do things similar!

      I wish it weren’t called a library since you can’t check out the books, but I appreciate her efforts.

      It’s disappointing to see it will be inside Livraria Lello, which is already overtouristed. With her resources, I’d expect she could open her own storefront for this project.

      Charity concerts to benefit women’s rights, libraries exclusively for banned books….these modern pop women are killing it! Love to see them centering philanthropy in such a big way

      Oh wow, I had no idea she was doing stuff like this? I love her even more.
