I have had the pleasure to work with Your Very Favorite on two major projects. In 2023, they fashioned from scratch an activity book celebrating our library’s 100th anniversary. This project was funded by a PARC Grant from the city of American Fork. Alma, Mike, and Holly worked with us to create fun and entertaining activities that highlight our city’s unique history, culture, natural resources, and atmosphere. Residents and leadership, including American Fork City Administration, Councilmen, and Mayor, have found these books a wonderful resource to enjoy celebrating a century of the library in our community.
This project was such a hit that we contracted with Your Very Favorite again in 2024 to create a custom adventure journal for patrons. This book showcases the many ways our library serves as a starting point for new adventures—whether by providing resources for planning real-life journeys or sparking imagination through stories and programs. I find the whole process of working with Your Very Favorite delightful and rewarding, and we are currently planning future projects.

We absolutely loved working with Your Very Favorite on a community outreach zine celebrating the 100th Anniversary of the Spring Salon and honoring the “students that built Art City” at the Springville Museum of Art. They were dream collaborators—professional, creative, and so easy to work with. They took our initial idea and ran with it, creating the most amazing illustrations and activities to engage Springville students in the museum's story and inspire them to dream big. I can’t recommend Your Very Favorite enough and would hire them again in a heartbeat!

We collaborated with Your Very Favorite on creating a book that showcased all of the wonderful things about our city, La Quinta, California. That ended up turning into a dual book in collaboration with Burrtec Waste Management where one side was all about La Quinta and the other focused on education of recycling/composting. The end result was this beautifully crafted piece that not only showed why we are called the Gem of the Desert, but also helped us to accurately and precisely educate our residents (both young and old) about the importance of recycling. This was definitely a passion project that was elevated by Alma and the team at Your Very Favorite. The attention to detail to so many little things that just made this even more special was beyond what I imagined. I appreciated the extra steps taken to ensure we were correctly representing our Cahuilla Indian ancestors. Alma connected with the Malki Museum so that everything Cahuilla in the book was approved and correct. She worked closely with Burrtec to make sure our “tips” on recycling and composting were correct so that we were in compliance with state mandates and regulations. We are so proud of the final product from the recycled paper to the seed paper insert to the smooth cover. We debuted them at our State of the City and had folks calling the next day to where they could purchase more. Our residents love them and our City Council was incredibly happy with the final product. Looking forward to more projects with Your Very Favorite and all they bring to make us shine!
