This website by the Skokie Public Library, IL is an outstanding example of both the Drupal CMS and using the talents of librarians for community building.


The website is divided by communities (Russian, Korean, etc.) topics (business, local history, government, etc.), and events.

Skokienet is also designed to allow/encourage community additions to the website, not even asking a user to sign up.

Okay, today was the official launch of the new community site for the Public Library Association: PLAspace.org

The announcement reads:

Today marks another milestone in the rollout of PLAspace. We officially open the doors to new CoPs and new participants.

We created PLAspace to give Public Library Association members a place where they could share ideas and work together on common interests. Today, the first official day for the site, we already have several dozen members and a half-dozen CoPs.

The HHPTF was founded by the Social Responsibilities Round Table in 1996 to help promote and implement ALA Policy 61, "Library Services for the Poor."

The HHPTF Website contains timely resources that inform librarians about poverty and that support efforts to serve low-income people more effectively.
