<div dir="ltr">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.<div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Carolyn Kinsella, District Librarian</div><div>Minooka Community High School</div><div><a href="mailto:ckinsella@mchs.net" style="font-size:12.8px" target="_blank">ckinsella@mchs.net</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Central Campus</div><div>301 S.
