The Foundation for the Mount Kisco Public Library is offering specially-priced engraved, four-by-eight inch engraved "Centennial Bricks" for $100 to encourage more sales and to help buy down the contruction cost of the new library building which opened last year.

 

The engraved bricks will be installed in learning and handicap-accessible therapy gardens surrounding the children's reading room. Construction of the first phase of this installation, the return of the former library building's butterfly garden, is scheduled to begin by the end of April. It will be underwritten entirely by private donations.

Bricks that already sold for $250 will be upgraded in size to eight-by-eight inches and existing donors have been offered the option of adding a lengthier message of up to 168 characters and spaces.

 

The foundation will continue to make this larger brick size available to new donors to the Buy-A-Brick fundraising campaign. Bricks can be purchased online here at the foundation's website, at the library, located at 100 E. Main St. or by calling 914-666-2118.
