\"When<\/a>

When in doubt, ask a librarian<\/p><\/div>\n

So, you may think you saw this design recently, but in fact this is an altered version of that design. One of my favorite librarians Marie Radford made a suggestion that made a lot of sense to me:<\/p>\n

I\u2019d like to see a slightly different message. How about \u201cask a librarian\u201d instead of \u201cvisit your library\u201d? Two reasons, 1) highlights the contribution of librarians, 2) opens up possibilities for virtual reference, phone, txt, facebook, etc. to get help rather than just the physical library.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It made perfect sense to me, Marie, after you brought the logic of it to light. If I had thought about it just a little bit (or a lot) more, I might have had the insight to make that jump, but my view was limited. I am thrilled<\/em> and thankful that you cared enough about the message and the design to make the suggestion. It’s people like you who have helped me the most in this project to grow not only in my design, but in my worldview.<\/p>\n
