Presque Isle District Library Unveils a New Logo Library's New Logo Announces a New Decade of goals and vision Rogers City-As we fast forward into a new decade, 2020 is a year of celebration for the Presque Isle District Library. The new logo depicts the library's image of new beginnings and opportunities. "Designing a new logo for the library was important to us as we move into the new decade and celebrate the library's 75th anniversary in 2020", stated Amber Alexander, Library Director. "We wanted an image that people could interpret in different ways. Some saw a design of the sun rising in the east over Lake Huron; others saw open pages of a book, and even a seagull flying in front of the sun." However one interprets the new logo, it reflects the library's mission to connect with the community and get a better understanding of what the community wants and what the community needs from their library...and this is a top priority. It is that initiative and passion of the library's board, management, and staff to set new goals to build and strengthen these connections with the public in order to offer a vibrant and dynamic library system now and for the future. Since the acquisition of the Rogers City Theater in 2016, the opportunities to engage professional musical entertainment from all over the world continues to gain exposure; a variety of film festivals and special community events is on-going throughout the year; and the Rogers City Community Theatre continues to expand its theatrical productions providing a venue for our area youth and senior population to express their creativity in the theater arts. The upcoming Smithsonian Exhibit, "Crossroads: Change in Rural America" will be hosted at the Rogers City Area Senior and Community Center from March 21 through May 3, 2020 and explores the past, present, and future of rural American communities. On behalf of northeast Michigan, Presque Isle District Library was selected as one of six sites in Michigan to host the Smithsonian Exhibit. Special programming and events are planned throughout the year that focus on the exhibit's themes of Identity, Land, Community, and Persistence/Change. The library remains and continues to aspire to be the Community's Connection. New opportunities. New ideas. New vision for 2020.
