I love this advert from Ikea that reminds us (not that we librarians need reminding!) of the joys of 'real' books!

Last weekend I went to The Star to see the Lord of the Rings with a live orchestra and a choir of 250 people. I am not really a fan of fantasy, either to read or to watch, but I have to admit I really enjoyed the evening. I hadn't seen the film before, or any of the other Lord of the Rings films, but I am quite tempted to watch them all now. I just need to arrange for an orchestra and choir to come to my living room so I can have the same effect?! When we visited New Zealand the Christmas before last we visited the Lord of the Rings movie set because Roz is a huge fan of both the books and the movies. While I watched the film it was interesting to spot places we had seen at the set and also to remember the tricks, like making people appear larger or smaller than they really are by having identical large and small fences and other props! I often enjoy Google's special logos but this has to be one of my favourites. This logo celebrates what would have been Maurice Sendak's 85th Birthday (he passed away on 8 May 2012) by showing many of the scenes from his famous book, 'Where the Wild Things Are' - I love it! |

I recently worked as Assistant Librarian at a British International School in Singapore. I've now relocated back to the UK and I am hoping to find a job that I enjoy as much as the one I've just left! Searching the ShelvesThis is my blog for interesting things to do with my work, my Continuing Professional Development (CPD), my studies or just anything that catches my eye relating to libraries, technology or books.
