Can I share with you something that I am personally excited about accomplishing? This new year the public will begin
seeing a logo on our website, Facebook pages and in other ways. The Pioneer Memorial Library has never had a
logo before and we have been working on creating one that went with the motto
for the library, “Bringing Words to Life!” It took a bit of work. We wanted something simple and bright with
the ability to be used in many ways. If
you look at our logo, you may ask why the stacked squares? The squares present
a feeling of rising up from the words, so that life or energy is coming forth
from the words. Squares also look a bit like books
without being fussy. Stacked squares also look a bit like library shelves (or
stacks as librarians call them). If you go into the library, on our themed wall
you find squares that we have used with our motto. The colors go with the art
work and colors inside the library that we currently enjoy, as well.
We
believe our motto has a fun way expressing the mission of Pioneer Memorial Library.
Our mission statement states that, "We provide a broad coverage of and access to modern library
resources, services, and programs in a variety of formats to meet the
recreational, informational, and educational needs of community residents of
all ages." We think that our motto aligns with our mission statement. “Bringing
Words to Life!” highlights our primary objective which is to encourage the many
ways ideas, knowledge, creativity and expressions are brought through differing
mediums of materials: be they printed books, audio books, eBook, magazines,
movies, music, art, technology such as databases that provide journals and
magazines, video games, Internet access or creating new documents from scratch.
It is also brought through programming provided by the library, through others
or just through various meetings, personal conversations and encounters at the
library. Our community member’s lives are enriched by all these expressions and
more.
