Thing 2

Ok I have just about got the hang of setting up the blog. I have not been too adventurous with the layout but hope that will come in the future. Just about manged to insert the 23 Things Logo. I have looked at other blogs for Thing 2. I am amazed at some of the complicated layouts out there but was also amused that some blogs had not got past the first page. I enjoyed looking at some other school librarian blogs for 23 Things. Looked at Meadowtime and was impressed by the layout including tabs for more stuff. I left a comment so we will see what happens. Library Thoughts has beautiful colours and a photo and the author is really getting through the Things.  I also commented on the lovely cloud background of My Little Librarian Blog. Wise Owl Librarian is a nice title and links well with reading. I have had a comment made by a visitor which was exciting, Kristine Mitchell from the US. I tried to comment back to her but failed so Hi Kristine and thank you for visiting. I have also visited your blog.

We break up for the summer holidays in three days time. Roll on the end of term. We are throwing a party for our Student Librarians tomorrow which they will enjoy as it involves food in the library.  I am so exhausted from all of the library events we have run this term - Author events, Lit Quiz, Carnegie Shadowing -  I cannot wait for a proper break.

Thing 1
I am just starting the 23 Things for Professional Development. I am late starting the programme but hope that I can catch up with everyone else. This sounds like a fun and educational opportunity. I first heard about 23 Things from Jo Alcock so when she mentioned on her blog, a new version for 2011 I knew I should have a go.
I am a School Librarian in Barnet and don't seem to get much time for training so I think an online course is a great idea. We will see how I get on!
