General Tips

• Remember that many people come to our website through very small devices (or perhaps, Google Home or Alexa). No one wants to hunt for info these days. Put the most important information at the top.
• Keep a book club post to less than 2 paragraphs -- but more than just the title of the book.
• Sell! Sell! Sell!
• If you use Canva or LibraryAware to create snazzy graphics, you MUST include whatever is on the image as text in your description. (Reading machines for accessibility can do NOTHING with a graphical image)
