The Northbrook Public Library Foundation has decided to re-open the “Book a Brick” program.

The existing bricks form a permanent, commemorative walkway just outside the main entrance.  Now, with just a few dozen blank bricks remaining, we invite you to add your family or business name to those of other supportive library friends.

The Library is committed to being a vital source of information to the Northbrook business and residential community.  Your contribution to the Book a Brick program will not only highlight your name in a most visible way, but will assist the Foundation in fulfilling its commitment to the library.

• Profits from the “Book a Brick” program will be used to support the Northbrook Public Library Foundation. The Northbrook Public Library Foundation is dedicated to raising funds for major facility projects at the library.
• Each brick is tinted concrete, engraved with inscriptions of your choice.  Some suggestions:  name(s) and date, in memory of or in honor of a family member or friend, in recognition of a business or organization.  Certificates of acknowledgement will be sent. 
• Brick size is 12” x 12”.  The cost of the brick with 3 lines of inscription is $200.00.  Deadline to purchase bricks is February 29, 2008.
• Make checks payable to the Northbrook Public Library Foundation.  Donations to the Northbrook Public Library Foundation are deductible to the full extent allowed by law.
• Bricks will be installed in the walkway leading to the east entrance of the library along with previously installed bricks.  Installation is planned for spring.
• Additional questions?  Please call Anna Amen at 847-272-6229.

For a 12” x 12” Brick
Your inscription may contain up to 3 lines with 14 uppercase characters per line
(including numbers, spaces and punctuation).
