Idaho Commission for Libraries

Well, hello, to all you fellow librarians out there. This is Beth Twitchell, Reference Librarian Rockstar and Literary Empowerment Coach, hailing to you from Twin Falls, Idaho. I'm really excited for this new site. I mean, where else do I get a chance to blog and talk with other librarians, and still be able to claim that I'm working? :)

This is my first real foray into the blogging world. I have been helping out with TFPL's blog (http://tfpl.wordpress.com/) but it's my coworker Jennifer who usually keeps that up. And of course, I'm a Facebook fanatic, but that's not technically blogging. So this will be good.

I'm sure many of you have been lucky enough to enjoy the experience that is Jennifer and my presentations at ILA or PNLA, and I hope you were able to take away some ideas from them. I think that's the main reason why I'm excited for this: not only is it in a more fun format, but it will enable all us librarians, no matter where we live, to be able to share ideas and problems and solutions. At least, that's my hope. Thank you, ICFL, for making that possible!

Well, all right, I guess I'll let you get back to real work. That's the direction I'm headed. I look forward to meeting and getting to know more of you.

Peace out and happy reading!
