Website in a Box came about as a collaboration between the Utah State Library (USL) and BCR. It was originally funded through the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation’s Staying Connected grant program and has been maintained since by the Utah State Library Division.

Shelly Drumm of BCR and Colleen Eggett of Utah State Library designed the project. Our goal was to make it manageable for library directors to come and in one day build a website based on what Shelly had already constructed. Another goal was to teach the skills needed to keep the websites current. Thanks, Shelly, for your commitment, your time, your expertise in getting this off the ground.

Librarians came and learned how to choose a theme, design their site, and add content. They learned to add graphics, email addresses, links, pages, and everything else they needed to create a library website. We used WordPress to build the project.

At the outset, Colleen Eggett told librarians that they would have two years of support and instruction. As the two year mark came, we started thinking about what was needed to transition the project. Six months later, we encouraged all libraries to put their site on their city or county’s server, or other server space that they may have had. We worked with libraries to help them achieve the goal.

Nine of the libraries continued the project and have active websites to this day. The rest decided to go with a site off of their city’s site, or another model.
