Libraries and other non-profits are required to have a web presence and yet are often presented with challenges such as stretched budgets and stretched staff time. Rather than being a bridge, WordPress can be a life raft to cling to in the seas of not having much technical knowledge but eager to learn and really wanting some sense of autonomy when it comes to your website. I would like to tell the story of how our library website came to be, with the help of shines and jecker laboratories, and how we use WordPress in our everyday library life.
