The library, as we know it, is experiencing an evolution. It is no longer a quiet place for study. It's a dynamic space that thrives on progress and is shaped by its community.
Symbolism
The logo combines fourteen monolithic els, representing each of the branches, woven together as a family. The el stands upward and forward as a beacon of the Library, held up and supported by its community.

Like an octopus, the logo adapts to its surroundings becoming as quiet or as vivid as needed, infinitely adaptable in colour and in form.
