One of the reasons that I decided to re-start this blog was because of Rachel Singer Gordon’s post at the Liminal Librarian. Specifically, it reminded me of the haze of bright eyed enthusiasm with which I started writing and, I guess more importantly, the way that blogging gave me a strange sense of connection to the library world. Since starting my new job I’ve been even more convinced that I would never want to be anything else but a librarian (which makes all these budget cuts even more stressful- I just want to be a librarian; is that too much to ask?!) and reflecting on blog posts I read, or ideasĀ for projects that I had really helped streamline my thoughts. So there you are. Blogging=Zen. You heard it here first.*
And of course, the Movers and Shakers have just been announced, along with the hilariously named Shovers and Makers. I know some people are disparaging about this award, but it does interest me, and make me excited for libraries. Which is probably quite geeky, but really, bothered?!
So this is a pretty dull entry but I need to find interesting things to blog about now I’ve been reincarnated. Watch this space!
*Or probably not, seeing as there are almost 1 million hits on Google for that…
