Promoting the value of education and information at any age, the Knowledge is Power Poster Set features insightful quotes, such as “Information is the currency of democracy,” from Thomas Jefferson, as well as other wise words from Aristotle and Francis Bacon. This set of materials will appeal to young adults and older groups, adding inspiration to the walls of schools, libraries, colleges, museums and other institutions.
Friends of libraries are heroes in their own right and should be recognized as such. The new catalog introduces Friend Your Library Buttons and downloadable materials that library staff can customize for local Friends events and initiatives. The buttons, bearing two different slogans—Friend Your Library and I’m a Library Friend —feature bright logos that pop with enthusiasm.
