Library Websites on a Budget: Tools, Tips, and Tales

Wednesday, December 17, 2:00-3:00 PM (Eastern)

Does your library website need a makeover? It doesn’t have to cost a fortune to improve your online presence.

Come to this free webinar to learn about free website creation and content management tools that you can easily use to create attractive and engaging websites. Hear from libraries who have recently revamped their websites, and learn the secrets to their success.

Amy Marshall will talk about the Craig Public Library (Alaska) website, which was designed for free using Weebly and she updates on a weekly basis.
Karen Mier will present on the Plattsmouth Public Library (Nebraska) website, which is integrated into the city website using Joomla.
Carol Gyger will share her experience developing a new website for the Poudre River Public Library District (Colorado), which was designed by library staff using the open source Foundation framework.

The webinar will be followed by a live chat on nonprofit web design with web guru Yann Toledano.
