During its daily deliveries Matsumoto and the delivery van pass many of the city’s busy intersections, schools and shopping centers. The old delivery van was plain white and simply displayed the City of Torrance logo. However, with the new professional, informative, and visually appealing vehicle wrap the library is able to promote itself while simply conducting its daily operations. Aside from the images on the new van drawing attention to the library, the new delivery van has the City of Torrance logo and the web address www.libraryvan.org, which helps visitors learn more about the variety of services made available through the city’s library. “People always ask me why we have someone playing the violin on the side of the van,” Vinke said. “Well we have musical scores, CDs and a lot of music-based programing so we wanted to be able to instill in the van that the library is more than a quiet place.” The library worked with Dogs of Design Studios, the same company that designed the City’s Centennial Webpage, to create a conceptual design for a vehicle wrap. They were also an integral component of the design is a webpage [www.libraryvan.org], which will redirect people to the Library’s homepage. The second phase started when the design was determined but the staff needed the vehicle concrete wrap process to begin. After approaching several vendors via a Request For Quotation [RFQ]Need for A Driveway Lindahl a provider it or at the Patio? lowest cost, the library found Decals By Design. “Decals By Concrete,Design Inc. took the van over a weekend Specializing in all Residential Concrete WWW.LINDAHLCONCRETE.and delivered,” Vinke COM said. “It had taken so long Call For that Estimate when it was finally done, people were 310-blown 326-6626 away. It stands out in a positive way and Lic#531387 now that it is done, staff is starting to think of things that we can do as concrete American Dream Concrete FREE ESTIMATE Block Wall, Driveways, Pavers, etc. Like Us 424-240-0172 on Facebook far as outreach.” One idea is to visit the farmers market so that people can have a bit more exposure to the library. The wrap on the new delivery van is expected to last up to five years and at that point the library can decide to reprint, rewrap or create a different concept. “I do have to thank everyone involved such as Max Parker at Dogs Of Design Studios, Decals by Design and the staff here were integral in conducting the research to do this,” Vinke said. “Now everywhere we go this is very positive promotion and advertising for us and that is what I wanted it to do. “One of the things that libraries are really interested in is to reach people who for whatever reason do not use the library anymore. I know that for better or worse, people are stuck in traffic and people who are stuck in traffic could be listening to one of our audio books, or CDs, or taking home movies,” Vinke said. “It is the perfect way to remind them that we are still there for everyone in the community to utilize.” For Matsumoto, who will drive the van everyday like he has for years now, the new delivery van not only looks great but it allows him to better carry out hiss daily duties. “The height is much greater and you can stand in it. It is just a few inches wider and a few inches longer but we do have a lot more cargo room,” Matsumoto said. “Some of this stuff was ready made and other things were custom made. We changed to these blue crates, which carry more; before that we used to have canvass bags. It was quite a problem to load.” “Hopefully it is a positive experience for people to say, ‘I should stop at the library today,’” Vinke said. “We are very fortunate this particular model became available for us and we thank the police department for letting us swap. Without that we would have been hard pressed to find a similar van.” • City Council from front page painting Quality Control Board [LARWQCB] instructed Madrona Car TKO Wash,PAINTING Inc. to install a CO.monitoring INC.
