Involved creating and editing images, looking at CSS books and hacking CSS off our public website&#8217;s style sheet, and working in Dreamweaver.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Not the world&#8217;s most glamorous job, but it sounds pretty great to me!  I wish more librarians would write things like this.  It&#8217;s one thing to read a job description, but another to see what a person in that position really does day-to-day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Curious about what a library web manager does in an average day?
