Displaying or Hiding the Sidebar

The current library webpage theme includes a sidebar on the right (figure 1). The sidebar is a “widget-ready” area, which means you can place widgets there! Widgets are small blocks that perform specific functions. For example, we’ve made widgets to display a library unit’s hours and the Ask-a-Librarian chat.

To display the sidebar on your page select the “Show Sidebar” radio button in the “Hide Sidebar” pane near the bottom right of the editing page (figure 2). Alternatively, select the “Hide Sidebar” radio in order to hide the sidebar and allow content to occupy the full width of the content area.
