Example Weebly Library Websites That Take The Cake!

Lowe Elementary Library

Lowe Elementary Library has a wonderful library website that is quite user friendly and has a great amount of interaction. The main page has a nifty suggestion panel that allows people to suggest a new book the library should get, as well as the mission statement, library hours, and even pictures to create a virtual library. The catalog is also on the main page and is available not only for the computer but for smartphones and iphones. 

There are both librarian and teacher buttons that display resources for both, as well as a more, what's new, and awards section. There is a student section that has has resources such as AR, databases, a book blog, and a student showcase section. 

This website certainly has flavor, a focus on teaching, and opportunities for participation by users. The problem with the student showcase section is that it is password protected so not everyone can view the work. This is a bummer since we want to see what the students are doing! The website also has a list of resources that are current and up to date such as twitter and a Dewey section, but that is password protected as well. The password issue is the only problem with this website. Otherwise, this is really neat and nifty and the librarian did a great job! 

West Hall High School Library

West Hall High School has a library website that is chock full of amazing tools and information. The main page has pictures of the staff as well as students, and really allows the users to see who they would be working with. They have a great infographic on new books on their main page, as well as instagram and twitter information. The resource link has so many different resources such as research and writing links (Purdue Owl, Easy Bib, SIRS and many more), citations, google drive, and website criteria. 

The site does have a teacher resources page but it is password protected so only teachers at that school can access it. This is unfortunate but I suppose they have great secrets only the teachers are allowed to know! There are a few student work showcased but not much, and the site does have a certain flavor to it. It is not too bright or busy, but is still catching to the eye. 

Great job librarians!
