To get this task done, the library hired outside design agency Hornall Anderson. They paid them with funds from The Seattle Public Library Foundation.

“Hornall’s approach helps us tell the story of the library as a dynamic resource and its importance and value to the community,” said Stephen Halsey, marketing and online services director for the library.

The Seattle Public Library is considering changing its name to…Seattle Public Libraries.
