The projected cost for casting and installing a permanent metal sculpture is approximately $60,000. The Library has already received a grant in the amount of $10,000 from Senator Carl Marcellino. This fall our goal is to raise the funds to Bring Back the Bear and to dedicate the sculpture in the fall of 2007. We are relying on the generosity of our community to help us reach this goal. Here’s How You Can Help For each $20 donation, you will receive an adorable, cuddly plush bear wearing a Bring Back the Bear t-shirt. You may make a $20 donation and receive a plush bear anytime at the Circulation Desk at both library buildings. For each $100 donation, your individual, family, or company name will be engraved on a brick that will make up the pavement around the bear sculp- ture. Donations of $500 or more will be recognized on a permanent plaque on the East Northport Library building. Please see the reverse side of this panel for a donation form.

This fall our goal is to raise the funds to Bring Back the Bear and to dedicate the sculpture in the fall of 2007. We are relying on the generosity of our community to help us reach this goal.

Here’s How You Can Help For each $20 donation, you will receive an adorable, cuddly plush bear wearing a Bring Back the Bear t-shirt. You may make a $20 donation and receive a plush bear anytime at the Circulation Desk at both library buildings. For each $100 donation, your individual, family, or company name will be engraved on a brick that will make up the pavement around the bear sculp-ture. Donations of $500 or more will be recognized on a permanent plaque on the East Northport Library building. Please see the reverse side of this panel for a donation form.

at the dedication of the Rosemary Wells Collection. In 2005, the Read to Your Bunny Corner, which celebrates some of the characters

created by Ms. Wells, was added to the East Northport Library’s Children’s Room.
