Library website

A LC website that I really enjoy and aspire to model my own after is the LC at George Vanier Elementary.
https://www.surreyschools.ca/schools/georgesvanier/Library/Pages/default.aspx
Things I appreciate about the website:
-is bright and colourful
-is user/student friendly, large simple text
-describes the purpose of the space for reading, making, designing and creating 
-it's focus on togetherness celebrating trial and error
-has many examples of the kinds of digital media and work being created
-has some hypertext to click on randomly to navigate what is of interest to the individual
-has few recommended links at the end, not too overwhelming

At this site I learn a lot about how things are done in the LC.  For example the use of Vimeo as a platform for sharing student work. "Vimeo" is a hyperlink included in the text of the website, as is "Global Fridge" that links a paper written by the TL educating others about the importance of sharing work and how it intrinsically motivates students.
