One Nation. Still Reading. Still Free.
For 250 years, stories, ideas, and access to information have shaped who we are. Libraries protect that freedom by ensuring everyone can explore, learn, and discover without barriers.
This collection celebrates that right while raising funds for the Opening Day Collection at Cherry Lane. Each design tells part of the story: a flag design featuring the preamble, reimagined for us as free readers; Liberty Lives in Libraries, a reminder of where access begins; the One Nation eagle with ?Still Reading. Still Free.?, reflecting that no matter what we read, we remain connected; and a map of the United States formed by the names of American authors from the past 250 years, honoring the voices that have shaped our stories and those still to come.

This design reimagines the preamble through the lens of readers, libraries, and the freedom to access stories and information. Handwritten elements throughout the design evoke the feeling of notes in the margins of your favorite book, reminding us that stories are not just preserved, but lived, shared, and passed on.
