+# About this repository
+
+The files here are copied from Kingsborough Library's LibGuides Admin interface. They will not produce a workable site on their own, but when pasted into the appropriate
+fields of the LibGuides Admin pages, they will modify the default LibGuide homepage to produce a page that looks like this:
+
+http://kbcc.cuny.libguides.com/index.php?
+
+The three files in this repository are:
+* LibGuide-home.html, which is taken from Admin > Homepage > Customize Homepage Template
+* LibGuide.css, which is taken from Admin > Custom JS/CSS
+* and LibGuide-banner.html, which is taken from Admin > Header/Footer/Tabs/Boxes > Page Header
+
+LibGuide.css has comments included to explain what the various rules are doing. Please feel free to use and adapt any of these files, and let me know what you make!
