Site Profile

Description: The Friends of Clapp Memorial Library use their website to promote the Library, strengthen ties with the community, and raise needed monies for Library programs and resources.Case Study: The Friends of Clapp Memorial Library is devoted to promoting the library and its relationship with the community. It strives to increase public awareness of all the library's resources. The Friends also conducts money-raising events such as its biannual 50,000 item book sales.

With the Library working for approval of a multi-million dollar expansion plan, the Friends needed to increase its visibility and communications.

Since this was their first website, we needed a solution that would be easy enough for inexperienced clients to enter their own content. Joomla! gave us that ability.

We were able to create most of the site using core Joomla components and modules. We added gCalendar to link into the existing Library Google calendar.

In order to showcase the historic nature of the existing library, we base the custom template on a figure from one of the stain glass windows in the Library.

We created a custom component for listing special books for sale, both for the standard Fall and Spring sales and the Ongoing Book sale.
