Bucks Co. Free Library Getting A New Look

The Bucks County Free Library is getting a new look it says represents the system's commitment to growth, evolution and innovation.

The library system on Monday unveiled a new visual identity that officials say will include new logos, a new color palette and new visual system "that will grow alongside the library and the community it serves."

The new look, which will be on display at the system's seven branches throughout Bucks County, has its roots in the past. It leans on the blue and green color palette that longtime library users will be familiar with, while adding new colors as well.

"No matter the ages, backgrounds, or experiences of the diverse Bucks County community, everyone has a sentimental memory about the library," the system said in a news release. "Whether they've visited a BCFL branch as a child, taken their children to a story time, or attended a program, the library is a place of happy moments and memories for Bucks County residents."

Library officials say the new identity is designed to show a sense of excitement and energy, reflecting Bucks County Free Library's "commitment to evolution, growth and innovation." It also is designed to help unify the library's seven branches — in Bensalem, Doylestown, Langhorne, Levittown, Perkasie, Quakertown and Yardley-Makefield — as belonging to a single system.

Officials said the library's new look will be showing up on its delivery trucks, on promotional material like posters, on social media and on signs at the library branches themselves.

It will be "some time" before all aspects of the library's revisualization are complete, officials said.

They urged library-goers to keep up with the changes by signing up for the library's newsletter, visiting its website, popping in to a local branch,and following Bucks County Free Library on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
