Can't say that we have a specific date for taking a look at our web site
since it's a continual and ongoing process. We're doing a massive revision

Traverse Community Network site.

As for favorite library sites, there really are a lot of them out there.

Good luck in your summarization.

I'll check it out tonight and be brutally honest :P I'll also take a look
via Lynx.

Thanks for the invite.
