Check out the difference!

Students in Graphic Design have been working hard all semester with the help of their teacher Tracey Brown, our director Philip Crawford and library assistant Renee Turvey, to create new and exciting covers for some of our older books.  Thank you for all of your hard work and for helping to add some new flavor to our library collection.

Please check out the display in the library to see how much the covers have changed!

 

* The new book covers are positioned above the old ones so you can see the difference between the two.

This last row has the new and old covers side by side.
