Read Susi_McCune_Memorial_Library_Brand_Guide.pdf for the visual standards.
The matching DOCX keeps the guide text editable. Use the files in assets for
new materials and templates for practical starting layouts.

ARTWORK

The library identity retains the open book, heart, flowing thread and violet
flower. The full name is Susi McCune Memorial Library. The founding date is
May 17, 2025.

Use the primary logo for covers and broad feature areas, the horizontal logo
for wide placements, and the symbol with readable nearby text for compact
headers. Purple and reverse variants support specific production needs.
Keep the purple name on light backgrounds in ordinary documents and web copy.

SVG and PDF artwork are scalable production masters. Lettering is outlined.
PNG exports are provided for Word, presentations and other raster applications.
Preserve each file's proportions. Reserve clear space of at least ten percent
of the displayed artwork width on each side. Check the guide's minimum sizes.

The asset manifest lists versions, dimensions and file hashes. FONT-LICENSE.txt
retains the applicable type-source notice. Font binaries are not bundled.

TEMPLATES

The templates folder contains an editable letterhead and matching PDF, a
self-contained HTML announcement, a Letter-size SVG sign, a square SVG social
layout, an editable HTML email signature and the usage instructions.

Replace every bracketed placeholder before sharing. Keep dates, locations,
participant roles and public contacts accurate. Templates are starting files;
they do not establish event details, partner participation or permission.

PUBLIC ROUTES

Heritage contributions and requests: https://www.sparkworks.org/contribute
Spark House coordination email: volunteers@sparkworks.org
Spark House public phone: 763-444-3669

Label the email and phone as Spark House contacts. Do not invent a separate
library email address, receiving account or response-time promise.

PRESERVATION AND PARTNERS

The memorial artwork is a new edition of the visual identity. Preserve original
photographs, plaques, documents, book covers and previous editions unchanged.
Keep the official marks and authority of Spark House, Friends of the Isanti
Library and every partner distinct. On Spark House materials, feature the
memorial library first and prominently. A brand placement does not merge funds,
records or permissions or imply participation in another activity.

Before release, review the final page or crop at its intended size, verify links
and labels, check for private information, and retain the editable source with
its matching final export. Obtain a production proof for physical printing.
