She got back to me quickly and said what we wanted to do sounded like a great fit for their Brandraising program. Sounded perfect. To make sure we were heading in the right direction, we also solicited proposals from two other fantastic companies for a more traditional identity/website redo. Tip #3: Be open to anything.

I’ve been fortunate enough to work with several nonprofit organizations that weren’t part of a national charity, university system, or hospital, which have attracted multimillion dollar donations. It sounds obvious but if your website looks like it was designed in 2010, it’s time for a new one.

It sounded great, until her last comment: She told me that it was a really important program, because libraries are the heart of the community…well, in elementary schools at least.

The IMLS (Institute for Museum and Library Services) has commissioned a preliminary proposal for an NAS (National Academy of Sciences) report on museums and libraries in the 21st century.
