Cute as a (library) button
Last spring we asked you to design the next round of library buttons. We had a great response and choosing the top 10 was no easy task.
You can find a different winning design available in the library each week, so make sure you drop by to complete your collection (and maybe even learn something).

Bunny on the loose!
In a brazen violation of the Library's 'no food' policy, a GIANT chocolate Bunny has broken into our Library!
Can you help us find him?
If you can figure out where he's hiding, you may be able to take him home with you! That's right, all 2lbs, 3ozs of his Lindt chocolate goodness could be yours!
For the next week the Bunny will be giving us daily clues about where he's hiding. If you think you know, you can fill out a ballot in the Library to win him!
Clues will appear daily at the Musagetes Architecture Library circulation desk, on our blog and on our Twitter feed.
Here's your first clue: "Brrr... it's a good thing I have fur, it's COLD in here!"
Quick! Catch that Bunny!
