Plinkit - Web Sites for Colorado Libraries

• Does your library need a website but you don't have the time or resources to build one from scratch?
• Or perhaps you have a fear of HTML?
• Does your library have a website but it's hard to maintain?
• Do you think your website could be doing more for you and your patrons? 

Then Plinkit may be for you!

The Network and Resource Sharing Department of the Colorado State Library will host your website, provide you with hands-on training, and provide a copy of the Plinkit Manual! And best of all, it's free!

So…what is Plinkit?

Simply put, Plinkit is a template based website authoring software developed specifically for Public Libraries

Originally developed by the Multnomah County Library with an LSTA Grant using open source software called Plone, Plinkit is now maintained by a multi-state collaborative.

Who can benefit from using Plinkit?

Over 20 public libraries in Colorado are using Plinkit to provide 24/7 online access to their library catalog, as well as to other online resources, a calendar of events, information about their services and much more.

“For libraries who have a website but haven’t switched to Plinkit, I tell them you couldn’t BUY better support than what the Plinkit people offer!” says Jane Besel, Director of the Carnegie Public Library in Trinidad, CO.
