Downloadable Library Land Backgrounds: Vol. 2 - Outdoor Adventures

Wow, people sure dug last week’s downloadable Library Land backgrounds! We were pretty astonished by the response so we’ve put together a second set - featuring some of the awesome outdoor features we’ve seen on our travels. Things like fountains, statues, reading gardens, and more can add a lot to the library experience. Just right-click on an image to save it to your computer.

We also heard from a number of you asking if you could send photos. Absolutely! You can send them to info@sharporange.com. Be sure to include all the relevant details - your name, the library’s name and location, and a brief description - and we’ll include them in a future set!
