Williamstown Library Closure

Re-development of the Williamstown Library reached the point of no return today when we opened in a temporary site at the Mechanics Institute in Electra Street. This temporary service will operate over the construction of the new building, which is expected to be completed in mid 2012.

2nd Incite Article

While I am sunning myself here at the ALIA Conference in Brisbane I was very excited to discover that I have managed to get my 2nd article into InCite for the year!
Super exciting that I could just happen upon it by flicking through the September edition at the ALIA stand but even more exciting that hopefully others will read it and consider running a Food for Fines Campaign, our 2009 Campaign was a wonderful experience for staff, customers and local Emergency Food Relief Organisations.

Holidays

Off on holiday to the UK for 3 weeks. Intend to squeeze in a few library visits while I am there. Naturally a visit to Bath but also perhaps the new one in Swindon. Will also squeeze in some ice-creams....isn't a holiday without ice-cream!!

Retail Techniques

Great little snippet on Today Tonight last night, talking to the Retail Doctor about the placement of stock and targeting of customers, what retailers do to position stock within the store for maximum attention etc. Lessons for us all!
