My thoughts. First off it's nice. here are my suggestions / comments. Do with them what you want.
1) Make the main navigation names bigger.
2) I'd make the metal background lighter. Or maybe put a nice white background behind the text. It just seems weird to me for some reason. I like the SRJC page with the white background and think the other pages would look nicer with a lighter grey metal.
3) Actually scale down the New library site picture. Don't use HTML to scale images.
4) Try to limit yourself to one font type and a few sizes. You go from big letters to tiny letters. I think the stuff in the red at the bottom is to small. Also the links under library are a different font.
5) the google search box looks weird. Maybe it needs a black border?
6) you should limit yourself to a max width, otherwise you page looks funny on a 17 inch screen.
That's it. I hope you take these as constructive criticism. I think your doing a fine job.

I like the Brushed Metal, and the arrows at the top are very cool. I would make the white space at top a different color though. I sort of like to see darker colors at the top, I don't know why, I just do. Do you have a pic of the Library or of the school mascot? It might be nice to use one on the home page.

1) Mr. K, the highlighting issue really depends on what you have your highlight color set to. Like I have mine to orange and i can see jsut fine
2) alright Twist thanks. I'll make the brushed metal lighter and a few of the other things
3) toast, I don't think i am going to get rid of the BM look
4) Ugg, i figured that since the mascot is on the mane page that i didn't need to bother but i will hide it in there somewhere
ok thanks all keep it coming

Jet - most people don't change their highlight color, they just leave it at the default red. If you think it looks good in orange, then make it orange, but don't leave it up to the user if there's a chance the default color isn't going to go well with your scheme.
