I have recently had the opportunity to venture forth, out from behind my desk and rub shoulders once again with my peers. The bi-annual South Australian Libraries conference held on the first Monday and Tuesday of September attracted many a South Aussie colleague as well as a few representatives from interstate. We had presentations from futurists, analysts and even a Teacher Librarian. From attending the two days I came away with my eyes opened regarding jobs of the future, possible library trends and the current state of our school libraries. All in all it was a great two days and I look forward to further working with some of the presenters, keeping in touch with the wonderful girls from Adelady (MCs for the conference) and doing what I can to try and support the future of all libraries.
First though I need to get my head back on straight, unpackage the wealth of new knowledge and bring my Managers and my team up to speed... If only there were another seven days in every week...
The future of Libraries is bright, but only if we learn to head toward the light and not chose to remain in the dark.
