Help us Build the Harper Library Commemorative Reading Garden
with our Brick Fundraising Campaign
Libraries use outdoor spaces to fulfill their mission and more effectively serve their community. By improving the outdoor space at the Harper Library in Southport, we will create a special place that will add a host of benefits for patrons of all ages.
The purchase of a commemorative engraved brick financially supports the Margaret and James Harper, Jr. Library outdoor space. These bricks will be placed in a beautiful garden behind the Library to be enjoyed by the community for years to come. Visit our Brick Fundraising Page for details or to purchase a brick.
