@VoicesLibrary curation

Last month I was luckily enough to be a weekly curator of the @Voices Library Twitter account. This is a project allows different library staff to take over the account for a week and post library-related tweets to approximately 1000 followers. I’ve followed it for a while and when I saw an invitation to apply I jumped at the chance!

I used my week to tweet about the role of a Systems Librarian and what it’s like to work in a further education college library. Initially, I was quite nervous apprehensive that none of the followers would interact with my curation. If I’m honest, I feared my tweets would bore people to sleep! I need not have worried – it was a great experience.

Voices for the Library


A website I regularly browse is Voices for the Library. It provides support and a voice during this difficult time of public library cuts. It is well worth a look - if you aren't familiar with it, log on to it now!

At the end of February, Voices for the Library asked its Facebook followers 'what three words would you use to describe what libraries mean to you?' I said 'enjoyment, relaxation and community'. Voices for the Library has kindly given me permission to reproduce the image created from the responses. I love Wordles, often use them in my wall displays at work, and this makes for a rather interesting snapshot!
