Earlier I wrote about library websites that do it right, and one of the best is here in our own state. The Kankakee public library has embraced the 2.0 challenge.

Kankakee PL puts it right on their home page–2.0.   Click on it and see their online mission for the 21st century.  They have incorporated podcasts, flickr, blogs, IM reference, and Cafe Press.   They’ve also won ALA webdesign awards for 2 years.  I’m impressed with the clean layout that tells it all.  (Check out the Teen Zone.  Again, I’m easily impressed with graphics, so check out the “meet staff” door on the theater.)

This website has it’s bugs, many links don’t work.  But after a few days of learning HTML, I have sympathy and respect for the webmaster who has to keep all those balls in the air.

  1. Hello. Thanks for posting about the Kankakee website, I think I can work a talk about them into my Management final!
