Friends of the Library

BUY - A - BRICK

The crumbling brick pavers have been removed from our front walkway and replaced with a smooth concrete surface. Because these bricks and the memories they represent are very important, all of the original engraved bricks that did not crumble when removed have been stored with hopes of returning them to their purchasers in the spring. The original order forms have been retained and will be used to contact the owners. If you know anyone who has moved since they purchased a brick, please contact Roberta Thomas here.

Replacements for the original bricks will be ordered, courtesy of the Friends of the Grayslake Library, in a mini-brick format which will be installed on walls inside the library, out of reach of the weather, chemicals, and thousand of footsteps. The Friends of the Library will also sell new memorial bricks to anyone who missed out on the first opportunity. The price of a 1.5 x 3 inch brick is $50 and a 3 x 3 inch brick will cost $100. Order forms are available in the library literature display in the lobby or at the Circulation Desk. Wall space is limited so order early! The deadline for orders is January 15.

A dedication ceremony for the new memorial wall will be held this spring. See our next newsletter and the website for details.
