New Logo for Friends of Blaine Library

The Friends of the Blaine Library’s new logo was created by artist Georgia Donovan.  Graphic Designer Ruth Lauman transformed the artist’s creation into a format to use on all FOBL official documents and our new book bags. 

Above: Friends of the Blaine Library Vice President Pat Kingshott presenting our new book bag, featuring the new logo, to Ruth Lauman as a ‘thank you’ for her donation of her time to the project.
