Hello:

I hope you like the look and content of our new website. I chose this color scheme after spending some time working with the vibrant greens and soft blues on a white background, which has become quite prevalent on the Internet.

I was making some progress. Then our Trustees approved a new logo for the library. It would get prominent display on our website, and it has a color scheme of maroon, white and brown. I realized pretty quickly that I was going to have to make some adjustments. Fortunately, I wasn't married to any look at that point.

I started working with the logo’s colors and loved the rich, velvety look they convey.
Feedback from the boss was very positive, so I went with it.

Beyond wanting a new look that complimented our logo, I wanted to add lots more information, yet keep it simple and logical to navigate. I hope you find everything you are accustomed to using when you visit us online, and that you take the time to try some of the new links.

I have also added video to the front page, mainly just for the fun of it, but also to promote events. We have been working with KIT-TV (channel 5) for the past few years, sharing some of our video, and it seemed like a natural progression. Besides, the boss (Director, Mark Mabelitini) likes all things new, techy, or shiny. We’re planning to give him his own show on KIT in the fall. Watch for that.

And, watch for more website additions in the near future. Mark and I are looking at ways our patrons can do as much of their library business online as they choose.
