The fountain outside of the St. Michaels Fremont St. location, edged with customized bricks from our previous campaign.
When the St. Michaels Branch was renovated in 2004 (read more about that here), part of the renovation included crafting a unique walkway made of customized bricks. Patrons and community members were invited to purchase these bricks in honor of a loved one, a favorite memory, or anything else they wanted to commemorate. In a stellar show of support, over 200 bricks were bought and placed along the walkway and have been meticulously cared for over the years.
When the current renovation of the branch was announced, there was some concern about what would happen to the bricks. We're happy to say that they have been preserved and stored, ready to take their place in the new walkway - and hopefully they'll be joined by some new additions.
As part of the community effort behind the expansion, we are launching a new campaign - Bricks for Books. All proceeds from the purchase of these custom bricks will go toward buying materials for the expanded St. Michaels collection!
If you're interested in leaving your own little bit of history at the branch, we invite you to click the link below and explore this opportunity. The deadline to order is September 26, 2025.
