The Galesburg Register-Mail didn’t check all the facts when they wrote the article that said the Galesburg Public Library was holding a logo contest. It’s a shame, too, because I had already started writing about how a library may actually be deserving of your logo design efforts… and I want those two minutes of my life back.

So, no, it’s not the library that needs the logo, it’s the Galesburg Public Library Foundation, a new non-profit group, that does. If you’re still reading this snoozer, man, maybe you’ll want to read the article that got it all wrong.

For posterity, and because I’m in this way too deep to stop now, I saved a screenshot of the debacle. Enjoy.

You're *still* reading?
