Hello blog! I return after a long absence!
Have joined The Library Thing and realise what an enormous time consumer this site could be!
Was fascinated to see that over three thousand other people had listed C S Lewis' Out of the Silent Planet! Will have to follow up this at home when I'm supposed to be feeding family or something!

Ken from You Tube - my favourite speech.
Here's my go at embedding a You Tube clip.
This speech always gives me goosebumps. Watch carefully and you'll see a very young Christian Bale!

Could this be the winning design for our new Library?
It would save decorating on those Harry Potter trivia nights!

Your Wish Shall Be Granted . . .
After 13 years of working at this Library, coping with an old building, cramped space, bad lighting etc, we learned this morning that Council has approved a proposal for a large new Library!!!!
We still have a long way to go, but at least things are much more concrete now.
Meetings will now be held with staff to finalise guidelines for architectural plans.
What should a new Library have?

A cyclists conference has taken over our town!
There are hundreds of visitors from all over Australia and they all want internet access
asap.
I wish town councillors and managers could see our library this morning. Two packed storytelling sessions, not enough chairs for people to sit and read, internet booked out
til 6pm, family history section full. It warms the cockles of the heart.
All this in a 19th cent building totally unfit for the purposes we call it to fulfil day after day.
Sigh . . . . new library . . . .

Wikis cont
Forget what I was supposed to be doing!
Library applications for wikis -
HSC support site
Staff procedure manual
Customer book reviews
And I'm sure there's more.
I did notice on the Blogging Libraries wiki that hardly any of the blogs listed actually had people commenting regularly. Are they worth all the work of setting up and maintaining?
