I have made the decision to put back my timeframes so that I can release my research to coincide with the opening of our new library at Altona North. We will be encompassing a number of the concepts from my research in the layout and the staffing so it will be a great illustrator of how changes will impact of "how we work" day to day.
It will also give me the opportunity to work on a publication to circulate...evidence of how libraries plan and deliver training to prepare staff to support self service technology has been less available than i had originally expected.
Back to the drawing board!

I am SO excited our Foods for Fines campaign has been approved at Council and will be happening in November. Even better our FISHY shameless self promotion is in full swing and we have had The Leader, The Mail and The Star all running articles!
It made the front page of The Hobsons Bay Leader....

Thanks to our contact with the crew from ABC's The Librarians who filmed at our Newport Branch and a number of other venues in Hobsons Bay. I was lucky enough to get a sneaky peak at the library they mocked up at the Showgrounds for the filming of series 2.
You can spot a few ideas they have pinched from Meadows...it was really interesting to see what non-library folk think a "new" library should look like.
