[Publib] The Hydrox: the new PUBLIB mascot?

[Nann Blaine Hilyard]

I have two PubLib buttons. One has a stylized dandelion, the other has a spiderweb and the phrase, "5,000 of your closest colleagues."

How about a new button with a photoimage of a Hydrox (the top side of the wafer) with PUBLIB superimposed?  (Are there copyright issues to consider?)  That artwork could be available by e-mail so that we can make our own.  (That's easier than having someone responsible for taking orders, mailing out, etc.)  (My library has a button-maker, and if yours doesn't, surely a neighboring library or a school does....but do investigate investing in one--it's great for promoting the library and producing souvenirs of events....That said, I'm currently envisioning photo-transferring that artwork to fabric  adding some embellishments, and sewing a pinclasp to the back.)

Once upon a time, we had a PubLib button with a dandelion
on it: ubiquitous wildflower seen everywhere dispensing its
little flowerlets. I liked that. There is something to be said
for both the Hydrox cookie (C is for Cookie, that's good
enough for me, saith the Sage C.M.) and the garlic clove. We
should discuss this.
We should definitely have a PubLib entry on Wikipedia. If
Karen or Sara would be so gracious as to post whatever basic
description/history we have, many of us will be more than
happy to add to it.
