The Friends of the Bulverde/Spring Branch Library honored donors to its Capital Campaign on Oct. 25 with an evening reception and the unveiling of a donor wall.

The purpose of the campaign was to complete furnishing, equipping, and providing landscaping for the new library, which will have its grand opening on Saturday, Nov. 8 from 1 to 3 p.m.

“Discover the World from Here” was the campaign’s theme and the total goal was $750,000. Individuals and organizations have pledged $564,961 to date.

Don Clark was given special recognition for the numerous hours he volunteered in overseeing the construction process and providing assistance in many ways. A chair was dedicated to him for his use at the library.

For a special walkway under construction, many donors purchased bricks with individual or family names inscribed for $50 or $100. The first order of bricks is expected to be delivered to the library this month and will be placed in the walkway shortly thereafter. The brick sale continues and a second order will be placed as soon as the library has a minimum of 100 requests.

Naming opportunities for rooms or areas in the library were available in the $10,000 to $50,000 range. Gifts at the higher level are payable over a five-year period.

Individuals and organizations interested in making a tax-deductible donation can call Debbie Neubauer the library at (830) 438-4864.
