Charity
Every year Carina Axelsson raises the overall budget of her local library by 25% to 50% with the sales of her Advent Calendar.[16]
Carina Axelsson says, "Growing up, one of my favourite places to be was in my local library. I feel strongly that town libraries are an important part of any community lucky enough to have one. But with the budget cuts so many libraries are now forced to endure, they’re facing an uphill battle in bringing new books to their shelves – and my local library is no exception.” [8]
