The library really researched what users did with their old site before reworking it. They also hired one of Vancouver's foremost design firms to design it. I really, really love the new site and think that it is another example of VPL's wonderful service to this magnificent city. Bravo!

Just kidding. If you want to see another cool Canadian site that involves a library, check out Heritage Burnaby (http://www.heritageburnaby.ca/). We are cool because we live in the frozen north!

Alas, I have not delved into either website particularly deeply. It would be interesting to compare this with the Toronto Public Library’s recent redesign as well, which launched just recently.

I've been thinking about a full redesign for a while and looking at VPL's site tells me it really is time. There so much stuff on each page, but they've hit a negative space sweet spot that keeps the homepage from being busy. This is a great looking site.
