[Evergreen-web-team] Evergreen Libraries map icon

[Jim Craner]

If this is something we're building out on the Evergreen Drupal prototype, we can use built-in point clustering to handle the density at the higher zooms without any manual tampering. I'll add this to the "things to consider" list. 

Thanks, Ben and Alexey!

If it is an option, a dot would work much better for this type of map at most zoom layers, thus creating a dot map.  Example: https://www.e-education.psu.edu/natureofgeoinfo/c3_p16.html, although for Evergreen libraries the relationship will be 1 to 1. A larger icon could be used for higher zoom levels.
