Library Website
Portal for the María Calcaño Public Library of Zulia, built for the Regional Libraries Encounter: nine sections with documents you read right on the page, an editing mode to update it without coding, and a visitor counter.
The challenge
The María Calcaño Public Library of Zulia needed a site for the Regional Libraries Encounter: one that would inform about the event, gather the proceedings, talks and plans in one place, and that the library’s own staff could update without depending on a developer.
Architecture and solution
Dynamic PHP and MySQL site with nine sections. Each section’s documents are stored in the database and shown as cards; tapping one opens the document in a viewer on the same page, without leaving the site. To keep it up to date, the site has an editing mode for adding, changing or removing documents right from the page. The home page includes a carousel of event photos and a counter that adds each visitor only once per visit.
Features
- Home page plus eight sections: 2025 encounter proceedings, 2026-2030 strategic plan, news and magazine, libraries and reading rooms, training, social-impact services, shared catalog and the 2026 encounter
- Documents you can read in an on-page viewer or download
- Editing mode to add, edit or remove documents (PDF, Excel or PowerPoint) without touching code
- Event photo carousel and links to Facebook, Instagram and TikTok
- Visitor counter that doesn’t inflate on page reloads
- Mobile-friendly design
