The site allows users to submit stories, photos and illustrations, which will be compiled and published as a book, in recognition of the National Library's cultural landmark status.
"It's definitely a cleaner way of accepting entries from the public," said Greg Tan, executive producer at AKQA, which handled creative and production.
The microsite also features a viral component in the form of a 'tell a friend' section, which departs from the norm by utilising three unique HTML email formats.
"You can break away from the regular portal look and feel -- we can create a mood for people to remember the library," said Tan. AKQA won the project without a pitch, and will also be handling design of the book.
