Colorado State Library Excited to Offer Plinkit

The Colorado State Library has joined the collaborative along with Oregon, Texas and Illinois and not a moment too soon!  Currently Colorado has 30 public libraries with no websites.  Other rural libraries request Plinkit because of struggles they experience with their current website.


Some comments:

  • they only have one page or a few pages
  • they have no access to edit their website
  • they have to pay every time they have a a website update
  • they rely on one tech volunteer who may/may not be available

For these reasons, we have many requests for Plinkit in Colorado.

Colorado's first library to go live with Plinkit was the Park County Public Libraries (http://parkcounty.colibraries.org) in October 2006.  With four small libraries spread over a large county (each library is 50+ miles from the others) the staff intranet is a popular component of the software. Patty Chapman, Director of the Park County Public Library, wrote that Plinkit is

"a wonderful tool for our community. We now have a website that is informative in so many, many ways, helpful and fun too."
