Dear Dr. Imlay
Subject: New Logo for library
Thank you so much for your letter offering the services of your graphic design students for library related projects. We currently have a project 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) 5551011 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
