I enjoyed watching everyone flex their bloggy muscles during June, but maybe we need another exercise to keep up the impetus. I’m being selfish here – I want to read more Australian library blog posts… And maybe some people who did not join in in June could test the waters? Bobbi Newman from the Librarian [...]

This post is just an account of day 30. It wasn’t intended to be a reflection on the whole June blogging challenge, but sometimes it does this anyway. The idea for this final round up post is three-fold: being comprehensive while maintaining simplicity and laziness. I’m posting a snippet, a single sentence, from every single [...]

You may have thought that our 30 bloggers had run dry by Day 29. Not so! Opinions from an OPL made some observations about the penultimate day, but there were also many more fascinating facts coming forth. The big meme mover was 30 things – those things you have done this month, on top of [...]

Manic Monday was a mixed bag of treats, some tiring and waning with many memes and exclamations of ‘non posts’ or  reasons for skipping days. So today I will avail you with the five posts that inspired me most (and inspired me greatly at that!): Skinnibitch wrote a particularly thought provoking post on mentoring – [...]

With day 26, the troops are becoming tired. This was reflected in an absence of posts from quite a few of the #blogeverydayofjune cohort. But of those of us who did post: Tony knitted a new vest Fiona contemplated the genesis of the phrase ‘bun-toting’ – or at least, how it came to be the [...]

Friday again featured a number of memes.  Morgan asked 20 questions on day 20 so I thought I would ask you a few more: Who said don’t be afraid to change direction when she reflected on why she became a librarian? Who described her life according to They Might Be Giants and The Cure? Whose [...]

In library-related news: Bun-toting Librarian answers “Why am I a librarian?” Connecting Librarian writes about work experience students in the library, and commenters add their own… well, experiences. Creative Circ shares their library’s plans to create a “library based on trust”. In the handy ‘miscellaneous’ category: Opinions from an OPL writes about organisational aps. Bonito [...]

Day 22 of the challenge exhibited such a wide range of meme love. You can discover all sorts of interesting thing about our challenge bloggers, through the memes they post on. Check out a Public Librarian, From Melbin, Just girl with shoes, Strawberries of Integrity , Miss Sophie Mac, Rien d’important and Opinions from an [...]

I was among the many relieved to have reached Winter Solstice and start looking forward to gaining my six minutes per day. Strawberries of integrity shared a solstice definition, Bonito Club shared with us his confused eggplant and sardonic smile gave us some ways to continue to beat the Winter blues all the way to Spring.

Sometimes I think that questions and the asking of questions, are more useful than having answers. Sunday was day 20 of the 30 posts in 30 days blogging challenge. Congratulations on reaching the two thirds milestone, and here are some questions about the day’s blogging. This is multiple choice, so there are 10 questions followed [...]
