Lilja's Library was first created back in 1996. The first version didn't even have a name (and very few images). It had red printing on black background as many other sites back then. About a year later the first change of the site was done (see the first image). The design was still the same but the colors where lighter and there was a background image.






At first Lilja's Library was a rather small site but as the years passed it grew and grew. In 1999 it was time for the first really big change in design. The look it now got (see the second images) was radically different from how it looked before (as far as the design was concerned).

This way it stayed until the beginning of 2001 when it was again time for a change (see the third image). This time it was back to the darker look again, much black and white and red text. I did one mistake with that layout though. I made it for the resolution 1024x768. This resulted in the fact that if you viewed it in 800x600 it didn't really look that great. This was fixed in the next update though.

Next version (see image four) got online at the start of 2003 and I was a lot happier with this one then any of the earlier ones.

Then in 2006 it was time for a change again (see the fifth image). Lilja's Library celebrated its 10-year anniversary and I felt I wanted to do a new design to mark the occasion. This version is also a more dynamic version then the earlier ones, not so static with a database foundation.

Lilja's Library has been developed for Internet Explorer and Firefox for PC users. Hopefully the site will look OK even for Mac users, if not let me know what's wrong and if you have any ideas how to solve the problem (it's hard developing a site for Mac when you don't use it yourself!). The site is best viewed in 1024x768 or higher resolution but should work in 800x600.

I hope to report on everything that happens that has to do with Stephen King but since I'm only one person I'm sure there are stuff I will miss. Therefore, if there is anything you can't find here, please don't hesitate to ask. After all, I'm here to serve YOU!

I would also be grateful if you could tell me what you think of Lilja's Library in my Guestbook. I would love to hear what you think of it and it's your chance of influence the look of the site. In the Guestbook you can also see what others thought about Lilja's Library!

OK, I'm done. Go explore the site and let me know if there is something you miss or if you like it, please consider donating to keep it alive.

Thanks!
Lilja
