SAVANNAH - A new name for the local library was a small price to pay for free advertising. <br>
<br>
After all, the Chatham-Effingham-Liberty Regional Libraries was a mouthful of a library system, stuck with financial obligations and an unappealing name. <br>
<br>
But with the help of some art students, the system changed its name to Live Oak Public Libraries, without any extra expenses. <br>
<br>
Students at the Savannah College of Art and Design produced 13 public service announcements featuring the new name and logo. It would have cost the library $10,000-$30,000 to have the work done professionally. <br>
<br>
The new name, announced during a ceremony last week, allows the library system to have promotions that people won't just tune out. <br>
<br>
The library only had to spend $795 to replenish administrative office supplies with new letterhead and envelopes. The other costs -- for library cards, new signs in libraries and brochures -- were funded through the Library Foundation.
