The best way to show off your work is to have a professional-looking online portfolio displaying your accomplishments. These virtual galleries are not just for graphics professionals, but librarians too, and they’re a great way to really highlight the projects you’ve been involved with. Here are ten awesome WordPress themes that you could use to create your librarian portfolio.
Note: When a theme lists “Responsive” as one of its features, this means that it will automatically adapt to any screen resolution or device – meaning if it’s viewed on a mobile tablet or other device, the columns will adapt to the screen size.
