"The Ideal Library:" What does it look like?

Examine the following school library websites as well as our own:


Using Google Sites, Wordpress, Weebly, Blogger, Wikispaces or another platform of your choice, create a website for an imaginary "ideal" school library! See Ms. McLean or Mr. Bridges for help and suggestions.

Include:

Library Information: Hours, policies etc.
A mission statement: What is the main purpose of your library? In other words, what do you think libraries should be like?
A floor plan/map (You can do this quite easily in Word- see me if you need help!)
Resources /databases: Look at ours and see what should be included (remember the Database assignment in October?) Or, scour the internet and see what else would be useful!
Programs/Events/Clubs
Useful links: Bibliography help? New fiction? University links?
5 book recommendations with reviews/links/pictures/book trailers. Use your own book trailer for one of them if you wish!

Good luck and have fun!
