When using MiBaseNZ’s Public and Member Websites, there is a section in the right column of the websites where the location of your toy library can be added. This section appears on almost all the pages.

When adding a location, it is highly recommended you add (or embed) a map. There are a few reasons why it is a good idea but mainly it is more convenient and helpful for visitors to locate your library and get directions saving them having to search for it themselves and leaving your website to do so. It is also creating an interface that is visually rich and engaging to your users.

Go to Setup -> Edit Website and scroll down to the section called Right Column. This is where you add the location of your library and the map.
