Dear Dr. Imlay
SUBJECT: New Logo for Library
Thank you so much for your letter offering the services of your graphic design students for some library-
related projects. We currently have aproject in mind that might benefit both the library and your
students.
We want to update our logo to more accurately reflect the wide variety of services offered in a modern
library. A logo contest would be a great idea. Call me at (805) 555-1011 to discuss this further.
I have attached a list of library activities to give the students an idea of some of the things we do.
Sincerely,
Douglas Hopkins, Director

afternoon for early elementary students, and Sunday afternoon for kids interested in chapter books.
