Hi there, well, hopefully I will be able to find the time to write a bit more on this blog than I have of late, but as I mentioned previously, my mind has been elsewhere over the past weeks, and I seem to be getting more responsibilities at work which has cut down the amount of time I can spend reading and reflecting on things in the workplace. On a brighter note, my broadband should be reconnected in my new house today (haven’t checked yet - fingers crossed) so i will promise to make a concerted effort to read and write more, as I initally intended.

Following this promise, I would like to point out an interesting article, from the Guardian via CILIP Daily News, about the benefits of providing a library to staff within the workplace - i think that this is a brilliant idea in many ways - offering books to employees that are either fiction (to encourage socialising etc.) and also non-fiction (to develop skills, knowledge etc.). Cool. And the stat that 91% of employees say that they would use this kind of facility is really impressive. Perhaps some kind of mobile library could capitalise on this by paying lunch/breaktime visits to various employers throughout the week?
