Buy A Brick, Be Part of our Reading Garden @Library

Part of the landscaping project in front of the Library includes a new reading garden with benches and a special area of bricks reserved for Library friends.  When you purchase an engraved brick for the Library’s Reading Garden, your name will join those of friends, neighbors, local organizations and businesses to show your support for the Park Ridge Public Library.

The deadline for ordering bricks for installation in 2009 is September 1st.  Orders placed after that date will be scheduled for installation in 2010.  Stop by the Administration Office to view a chart indicating brick placement of installed bricks or to inquire about purchasing a new brick. Thank you for your participation in this fund raising and community recognition effort.
