the ALA website. There is contact info there and perhaps the liaison is a
good place to start:

I agree that there are fantastic websites out there for and by libraries.
Perhaps it would be better not to divide them by library type. A good
website will stand as a model for designers regardless of subject matter. It
would be a nice change to see the library community vote and act as a whole
community on a matter of relevance to all librarians regardless of where
they work.

Just my 2 cents.
