Maybe more library stars! Great suggestions Ellen, thanks!

Mylee Joseph is doing interesting work raising the profile of library services for older people. For elsewhere Liz Danforth on libraries and games and Jenny Levine (same area). Library academics doing interesting things - the list would have to start with Michael Stephens and Scott Nicholson. This is just a start. Also I think the idea of legends and leaders could have a little stretch as the people I admire the most are doing amazing collaborative work rather than being lone stars.
