Storymap.js is a javascript library for storytelling with web maps. This library aims to enable individuals, especially those who have a little web programming background, to effectively create story map applications over the Internet. Three major tasks would be dealt with, including web interface design, map design, and storytelling structure. To develop these functions, this library is written in a combination of several web programming languages, like HTML, Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and Javascript, and builds upon several prerequisite libraries and web services. To make the story map library robust and lightweight, we select as few prerequisite libraries as possible and prioritize the use of the open-source or free libraries. This library can be found at https://github.com/jakobzhao/storymap.
