Patch Poll: Prairie Commons Library has a New Sign

Have you noticed the new signage at Prairie Commons Library? Which do you prefer?

Call it an update. Call it an improvement. Call it whatever you like, but let Hazelwood Patch know if you like the new or the old Prairie Commons Branch of the St. Louis County Library System sign.
