Euless Library Foundation Begins New Art Project
The Euless Library Foundation (ELF) in conjunction with the Euless Historical Preservation Committee has commissioned an artist to create a historical tile mural of Euless to hang in the library. Groups and individuals may participate in this project by sponsoring a tile. Prices range from $25 for a book spine with a family name on it all the way to a 12" x 12" pictorial tile for $900. There are tiles priced at $60, $75, $300, $450 and $575. Each tile may be personalized if desired. ELF has a list of tiles and prices available either on their web site at www.eulesslibraryfoundation.org or by calling 817-571-9939.
