Bragging Up the Site
Our library website has won two Webbie Awards from the Wisconsin Library Association's Media and Technology Section. The awards are given annually for excellence in Wisconsin library web site design.
The awards were Best Site for Kids and Best of the Best.
I am so honored to have our site receive these. All kudos go to our amazing, amazing web designer, Jody. He was willing to try Drupal with us, work through seemingly endless requests for little tweaks, forgive us when we hadn't practiced as much as we should have, and be there for all of our concerns and questions. It took us a good year of working together to create our new site, and now it is our job as a library to maintain it and create the content that it needs to make it continue to shine.
This site was a huge departure from the previous site. We had to train many staff who had never posted online before. And it was a controversial change for some. Though I am pleased to say that the three patrons who complained have all returned to tell me that they now like it or have at least "come to peace" with it. :) Those first few days and weeks of any change can be very bumpy. I recommend lots and lots of laughter to get through them.

That is very awesome! Now I know who to steal from. I know you did it with a great CMS too. You definitely created a path to improve my library's website. Thank you for sharing this.
