So here it is, the historic first post! Hi everyone, my name is Cahal. If you're reading this, you're probably a librarian and you guessed it... So am I! I got a job in Libraries NI (The public library service for Northern Ireland) 4 years ago and I have fallen in love with libraries ever since!
I'm 28 and (obviously, I hope) male, so I'm something of an anomaly to the library stereotype. Hopefully, I'll help break more stereotypes throughout my career. I'm currently halfway through my second year of a Libraries Information & Management degree, and when I heard about cpd23 I jumped at the chance to take part! what a terrific way to help further your career! I also joined CILIP this year and thought the networking opportunities were really good, so I hope this will be the same!
I've always wanted to blog as well but always found the excuse not to - "Don't have the time, etc" - Hopefully this blog will be of some use to someone apart from me, and if not, I'll enjoy blogging my experiences anyway!
So here's to the first post, talk to you all soon!
