Nancy Pearl is coming to town

Queensland State Library is hosting a visit by Nancy Pearl in December. So if you want to hear from a librarian who inspired an action figure complete with ‘amazing push-button shushing action’, here is your opportunity

Have you got 15 December marked in your calendar?  Why? To attend the Nancy Pearl seminar, slq Auditorium 1, State Library of Queensland, Stanley Place,  South Bank Brisbane.  For just $10, morning tea and lunch included, come, learn and enjoy a day of book lust with the rock star librarian herself. — http://atyourlibrary.slq.qld.gov.au/nancypearl

The website has no details of other events, but apparently there is an Australian tour organised.

Wanted - blogging directors

Michael Stephens wants them, Laura Cohen wants them, and LINT wants them too. Librarians want to hear what their leaders think about the profession. Our offer still stands.

If you are a library director who would like to write occasionally but not want to manage a whole blog, why not register as a contributor here on librariesinteract.info? — 8th September comment.

You can forget about templates, spam, rss feeds, feeling obliged to write often and any other worries that inconvenience the lone blogger. All you would need to do is register and write posts occasionally. I’m sure the team here at LINT would be happy to help get you started if you need help. Why not email as at librarian @ librariesinteract.info and one of us can contact you.

If you are a library director with your own blog, do you want it added to our list of Australian Library Blogs?
