Story here from the Star Banner about the how the design for the new Marion County (FL) Library came into being. Library director Julie Sieg returned from a conference elsewhere in the state having been inspired by decorated banners, and with the financial help of the Friends of the Library, and a state art organization, a contest was sponsored for artists to represent the major categories of the Dewey Decimal system from 000 generalities through 999 history.
You may recall that this is the same county that considered slashing the budget to limit purchases of so-called undesirable books (LIS News story from April 7).
