Thing 2 - being nosy!
So for thing two, I've been having a good old snoop around the other blogs that are signed up to CPD23. What has been great to see is that there are people doing this course from all walks of life, different countries, all ranges of experiences, and from all kinds of libraries. It's also reassuring to see that I am not the only nervous blogger!
Another thing I've noticed is that so many of the blogs look very professional and smartly designed....although I've been mucking around with colours and backgrounds, I think I'll need to get to grips with all the tools on here!

Thing 1
This is my first blog post - ever! This is something that will take some getting used to, as I've always found self-reflective writing very unnatural (something that will hopefully go in time). I wanted to do the 23 things as there are various bits and pieces on the list that I've never delved into. I am hoping, most of all, that I will be a better equipped Librarian by the end of it!
I'm currently working in a graduate trainee role, but have worked previously in a University library and as a volunteer for a specialist library. For me, what I love about working in libraries is the opportunity to help people research, to help find what they need, to give them a point in the right direction. To make a library an environment where people want to study, don't feel overwhelmed, and to know help is available is important. A librarian can make or break a library -and in doing CPD23, I hope to be that bit more useful!
