Libraries! This past week i searched through library websites and came upon a few I liked, some i didn't and some that didn't even seem like a website at all.. But here are two links of websites that I did enjoy. The first is from GMS library, created by Alison J. Maliszewski: http://gmslibrarywebsite.weebly.com/
I enjoyed this layout. The background was simple and reminded me of reading in a tree house, as it also has a motif of books lined up across the top of the website. There wasn't a lot of font change but used color for separation. The pictures were not all encompassing but added to the text. It was simple yet lead you deliberately through the site. I'll be taking ideas from this one for my practice.
This next one is from H.R. Moye and the first thing that caught my attention, that I absolutely LOVE and will be doing on my practice and any other website I try my hand at, is the use of a quote in the opening page. There were subdued colors that let my mind easily feel as though I were walking through the quiet aisles of their library. Excellent choice in my opinion. The link to Wonderopolis was cool to be frank and how they had the tabs to the other pages were clearly presented which added to the ease of the website navigation. This website was probably my favorite of the ones I looked at. The more you scrolled down the more cool links they had as a bonus almost such as Tumblebooks and pictures from the school year. I just really enjoyed rummaging through all there was to find. I hope you do too!
