Labels+&+Signage+Improvements

The Mojave Desert Public Library has completed it's indoor reorganization - Now we need to help our patrons find what they're looking for! Because, after all - they can't use the items in our collection if they can't find them!

Informative, simple, and visible signage will create a more user-friendly library, designed with the needs and convenience of the user in mind.
