A project months in the making became a reality today when workers began installing a new, electronic messaging sign in front of the Salina Public Library.
"We had been looking into the possibility of adding an electronic messaging sign for a while and with the new logo, it seemed like the right time to pursue the project," Amy Adams, Salina Public Library assistant director, told Salina Post.
Adams said the sign provides the library with another way to communicate with library patrons.
"If we are closed for holidays or bad weather, they can see that information clearly out front," she said. "We will highlight programs, like Summer at the Library, and new services, like Rosetta Stone, to increase awareness of everything available at Salina Public Library."
While the sign was placed today, electrical work still needs to be done before the electronic messaging component of the sign is functional.
Adams said the sign was the last major project of the library's rebranding.
"We are still working on a few minor projects, such as additional wayfinding signs through the interior of the building, that have been disrupted by supply chain issues," she said.
"We are very thankful to Nex-Tech, First Bank Kansas, the Zimmerman Family Foundation, and a Schwab Charitable Grant in honor of Peggy Roth for contributions that helped to make the new sign possible," she added.
