Have Your Say On Our New T-Shirts

Your votes will help decide what our new MHPL shirts look like
Posted on 06 November 2025 by Chris Brown.

Way, way back in the fall of 2020 we added Medicine Hat Public Library merchandise to our collection. We’ve continued to add new items to our merchandise store and refresh others. In that time, one item has stayed the same.

It’s been a good – no, a great – five-year run for our classic, simple and humble MHPL t-shirts. But it’s time for something different, a little more creative, witty and maybe even sassy. So we’re turning to you, the MHPL community, to help design the new shirts.

We've set up a survey where you can vote for the text we put on the shirts. The plan is to have 3-5 different phrases/styles available, so you can vote for as many options as you want. The design will be fairly simple; something along the lines of the text, a book or two and the MHPL logo.

The survey will be open until Nov. 10. We plan to order soon after that and have the shirts for sale in early December. 

Thank you for your support of the library and our MHPL merch over the years, and thanks in advance for your feedback and helping design the new shirts.
