Library Bricks: How Stimulating!

Engrave a gift before September 30th

The Hancock County Public Library has launched its annual brick campaign with added incentive this year. By donating part of an economic stimulus check, the giver not only gets a tax break and an engraved brick, the money multiplies.

The library has received a Pathlight Grant from the Hancock County Community Foundation, which means the foundation will award an extra $5,000 if the library can raise $10,000 before February 2009.

The library’s brick campaign runs through September 30. Record family names or acknowledge someone with a message etched in stone. Businesses and organizations may also sponsor a durable expression of their support for the library.

For brick inscription requests, special envelopes are available at any HCPL location.

The library also has printable donation forms online.

All gifts will be administered through the Hancock County Community Foundation and are tax deductible to the extent allowable by law.

Engraved pavers will be set in place at the main library in Greenfield in time for holiday gift-giving. Available sizes in inches are 4-by-8 at $125 and 12-by-12 at $500.
