    Libraries in 2018 (part 1)

    February 9, 2018 /

    A library is an old idea which has been around for centuries. It hold books and recently since the 21st century DVDs and Audio books (tapes & CDs). It is a place where both young or old gather for their love of books & reading. It is a place anyone can go & not be judged. – (tweet this quote)   Adults In a library there is the Non-Fiction which house books on subjects from DIY to Cooking to Mental Health guides and everything in-between. It is the section for those of us who want to gather new knowledge. In the library there is the Fiction section. This is where the…

    GoodReads Reading Challenge 2017.

    November 25, 2017 /

    Finally part of the LIBRARY

    June 24, 2017 /

    Right, this is about teamwork. I guess you might have noticed I am writing some of my blog posts in advance. I am about to today go on my first training session to do with the new IT system our local libraries are all using from next week. I have also been shown how to open up the library, how cool! Basically, this is just me checking in saying how I am feeling about the place I work. Yes it’s working for free but I don’t care, it’s my workplace. Now, I’m starting to see myself get more responsibilities & trust from my co-workers and that’s great. Since the last week or…

About Me

I started this blog in May 2017.
