Great news

This week the Hinchinbrook Library received some fantastic news. The funding application for the new library, gallery / Tech centre was successful. Hooray! I can't tell you how excited I am. All the Library staff are thrilled. We will have a new much larger, more modern Library. It is absolutely mind boggling to think of all the new services and a much larger collection we will be able to provide to our patrons. Hip Hip hooray and they're jolly good fellows to the Rudd Government. Mwha!

Popular book series

I get really annoyed when book series that have been out for awhile get turned into TV series or movie. For example the Sookie Stakehouse books are not a new series but because of the True Blood series on HBO I have to wait till they release each book one by one. How annoying!

Course

Well I guess it has been a long time between blogs. I have recently been working on a promotional library video clip for a course I am doing and have discovered how hard it is to work with Windows Movie Maker. I will say one thing I have learned alot about the program in a short frantic time period. To all the techonolgy challenged people out there I say hang in there because if I can learn to make a video there is hope for you all too. Don't lose faith.

I love my job

How lucky am I! I get to work in one of the most fascinating industries. Where else can you combine working with the community amongst an atmosphere of information, comraderie and life long learning. The days are never the same and neither are the people who come to the circulation desk. Libraries are a much loved public service who perhaps should get more recognition. I certainly can't imagine my town without our public library.
