Be part of the New Ridgefield Library in this original artwork where you can commemorate your family name, your business or organization, an honoree, a favorite book or other personal message. Donation levels starting at $150 receive legacy recognition on personalized "book spines" or silhouette images with nameplate - or both.

Three sizes of "book spines" are available depending on donation level. Choose your size and create your unique message..."in honor of" ..."In memory of"...or other words of your choosing. Click here to see what others have done.

A limited number of silhouettes are available at higher donation levels. Both the image and the nameplate will be personalized. Silhouettes can be a family photo, image or your home, beloved pet...whatever you wish to commemorate.

As of 4/9/12, 442 donors have contributed $131,320 towards the Community Mural!

You can participate by printing out a donation form for the Community Mural including size and price information, or making your donation through our secure online donation page.

Special thanks to Marcia Simha and Joe Keneally for artist's rendering and sample mural section.
