It is December. A time to look back at what we’ve done over the last year. You’re probably as busy as we are right now, so rather than bog you down with a ton of stuff, we’ll just hit some highlights that we never got around to blog about this year.

Last month, during National Library Week, we had an opportunity to create a fun piece at the Central Library of Rochester.
