[aisle] library redesign question

[Carolyn Kinsella]

I'm in a HS, but when we put quotes on the library walls a couple of years
ago, we asked staff and students for input. I asked staff members for
suggestions and then produced a top 7 list - I was aiming for only 5 but
could not choose.  Then I asked the students to vote, knowing that any of
the 7 would be good. The top 2 are now on the library walls. As for the
graphics, I  asked the company who was hired to create the quotes to come
up some ideas because they have the designers, know what they can produce
with their equipment, and know what they have the rights to use. Because
these decisions were being done over the summer, the principal and I made
the final design choice. Hope this helps.
