[Evergreen-web-team] Evergreen Libraries map icon

[Lazar, Alexey Vladimirovich]

Yes, I had this same thought exactly when I was thinking about the value of a "library" icon vs.  generic.  I think you're right - various icon types are outside of the scope of the issue Ben Shum brought up specifically, and we can talk about it in the context of features on the new website.  And, BTW, here is a comprehensive set of map markers: http://mapicons.nicolasmollet.com/ with a compatible license.

That's another discussion though and maybe something we should consider when we do a look/feel redesign.

Since we already know from context that all the locations are libraries, I don't think that it is strictly necessary to have any special icons communicating that the locations on the map are of libraries.  So, the location is the primary theme of the map, not the type of establishment.
