This document provides ideas and examples for creating "My Maps" using Google Maps on a library website. It lists types of maps libraries have created, such as maps showing library branches and bookmobile stops, places of note in the community, and historical maps. It also provides examples of specific library websites that have embedded Google Maps and the kinds of information featured on those maps, such as parks, monuments, and business districts.
