[...] Fe Public Libraries’ blog, Icarus, was voted one of the best public library blogs by the Free Range Librarian. I guess they’re doing something right. It is so easy anymore to integrate blogs into [...]

I’m sorry I only just discovered your blog, to late to be helpful for you on this presentation. But the Brooklyn Public Library has a great blog-assisted reading group program, which you might want to check out (if no one has already mentioned it to you). The site is http://brooklynbooktalk.blogspot.com.

Great blog by the way

Just wanted to say thanks Karen, your presentation on Blogs was great at the Solinet User group meeting. Gave me a lot of great idea for PLAN’S Blog. I also got a couple of pictures of you. I posted the link on PLAN’S blog with the pictures.

It’s way too late i’m sure, but feel free anyway to take a peek at the Blogalogue of the Frankston Library Service. Our Council CMS controlled official website is a little too boring, so yo’ve flicked the switch and playing with the customer via our blog.

I think this is a great idea. When you get the list, will you publish it somewhere. I have a hard time finding great library blogs that are actually associated with a particular library, it seems most of the good ones are librarians blogging without any connection to an actual library.

It went great, Polly — thanks for asking! By Monday I’ll post all the links and so forth. Whew, so tired… when I give talks elsewhere I can go lie down afterwards.

Wow, what a great list of blogs here. Karen, I’m copying and pasting too. Hope the talk went well.

It's late, I know, but if you want to throw some school library blogs into the mix, check these out: http://thepeskylibrary.blogspot.com/ and http://nmhlibrary.typepad.com/the_reading_room/ I don't know these folks personally, but I think they manage by being big enough to trade off amongst librarians. Then there's mine: http://www.uni.uiuc.edu/library/blog/. I'm a small operation, but I manage by keeping posts regular and short and taking breaks during the summer, etc. But I have loads of fun with it. Good luck!
