Coming Soon – LARL Mascot
Lake Agassiz Regional Library (LARL) is excited to announce its design for a new mascot!
During spring and summer 2015, library staff and community members were engaged in this endeavor. In April, LARL’s 95 employees voted on a list of five possible mascot characters/animals: Owl, Squirrel, Raccoon, Fox, and Eagle. From May through July, LARL presented the Drawing Together: A regional community art and storytelling experience in every LARL branch. Drawing Together featured drawing classes for youth, a chance to vote on which character should represent LARL, as well as suggesting the mascot’s favorite book and telling stories about the mascot. A Drawing Together form was available on the website and in all 22 LARL locations. Over 200 entries were received from LARL customers of all ages. An owl was ultimately chosen and LARL is still in the process of voting on a name.
LARL worked with Minnesota artist, Janette Louden, to create images of the new mascot for promotional purposes. Minnesota based company, Vee Corporation, was chosen to
create the costume, which should be ready by the end of 2015.
