A bold, colorful promotional graphic for the Summer Citizens Library Event at USU Libraries. The right side features large orange text on a dark green background reading “Summer Citizens Library Event,” with a yellow arrow pointing diagonally. Below, a yellow rounded rectangle contains the event date: “Thursday, June 19, 2025.”  The left side displays a grid of bright geometric shapes in blue, yellow, pink, and beige. Two text blocks are embedded within this grid: one says “Innovation Hub” on a pink square and another says “Special Collections” on a yellow square. Several arrows and semi-circles create a playful, directional motif, pointing toward the main event text.

Explore, learn, and connect. Join us for an afternoon of fun at Merrill-Cazier Library—designed just for Summer Citizens.
