Our New Logo & More<br />

We are pleased to<br />

announce we will<br />

be updating all of<br />

our branding with<br />

a fresh new look to<br />

match the renovations<br />

we have done in<br />

recent years. When<br />

designing our new logo, we wanted a modern<br />

representation of the concept of the library<br />

and what it stands for in our community.<br />

Though the logo may appear in different<br />

colors now and then, the primary color is the<br />

shade of blue pictured here, which matches<br />

the color of the walls in our beloved Carnegie<br />

at the Main Library. <strong>The</strong> symbols in the logo<br />

represent the following:<br />

• Open Book - <strong>The</strong> traditional understanding<br />

of a library as a home for books and<br />

literacy as well as the openness we strive<br />

for in terms of access and outlook.<br />

• Light Bulb - <strong>The</strong> knowledge and ideas that<br />

we hope to inspire and facilitate.<br />

• Play Button - Our goal to be a playful<br />

environment in which to learn and grow, as<br />

well as the multimedia nature of our role in<br />

the 21st century.<br />

• Interconnected Globe - <strong>The</strong> standard icon<br />

for the World Wide Web and the Internet,<br />

to which access is important for everyone<br />

and allows us to connect globally.<br />

• Gear - <strong>The</strong> act of making. <strong>The</strong> maker<br />

movement, which is the basis for our<br />

maker labs, encourages tinkering of all<br />

kinds and an adaptive mentality.<br />

We will be releasing a fresh new website in<br />

the coming months. We thank you in advance<br />

for your patience as we transition.<br />

FROM OUR CHILDREN’S LIBRARIAN<br />

Bad Guys, Good Reading<br />

Over the summer <strong>The</strong> Bad Guys series was<br />

most asssuredly one of the most popular<br />

book series checked out by our 7-12 year-old male<br />

patrons. <strong>The</strong> graphic novel version of the Wings<br />

of Fire series certainly gave them a run for their<br />

money, but this one was still the #1 item I saw<br />

getting checked out. As the mother of a little boy<br />

who I sometimes have to bribe to read, seeing<br />

kids his age eager to read these books, certainly<br />

piqued my interest. <strong>The</strong> Bad Guys Episode 9: <strong>The</strong><br />

Big Bad Wolf, just hit our shelves in September, so<br />

now seems like a great time to share my thoughts<br />

on these books. <strong>The</strong>y’re fantastic! I love them and<br />

best of all my son loves them and actually wants<br />

to read them! <strong>The</strong> Bad Guys Episode 1 introduces<br />

the main characters of Mr. Wolf, Mr. Piranha, Mr.<br />

Snake and Mr. Shark. Clearly they are all creatures<br />

that are notorious for being bad, but Mr. Wolf has a<br />

plan to change things! <strong>The</strong>y’re going to be heroes!<br />

<strong>The</strong>y’re going to be good guys! <strong>The</strong> first book<br />

covers Mr. Wolf working to convince his cohorts<br />

that they want to be good too, and they’ll start by<br />

breaking 200 dogs out of the Maximum Security<br />

City Dog Pound. Each book brings a hilarious new<br />

adventure in their quest to become good.<br />

<strong>The</strong>se books are a fantastic choice for kids just<br />

getting started reading chapter books. <strong>The</strong>re<br />

are tons of illustrations and not too many words<br />

on each page making it less daunting for young<br />

readers. <strong>The</strong>y are also laugh-out-loud funny, which<br />

makes for a great read-aloud even parents can<br />

enjoy. Usually when I start reading these with my<br />

son I only intend to read a chapter or two a night,<br />

but he always wants to keep going. Finding books<br />

that kids actually enjoy is essential for creating<br />

good readers. Hopefully your young reader will<br />

enjoy these as well! All 9 books in the series are<br />

currently available on our shelves, so come check<br />

them out! Happy Reading!<br />
