Hello there...

After several failed attempts I have decided to start my very own blog. Many people I know have blogs to share their thoughts and to update us interested people. I was quite adamant I would not start a blog. I am in no way witty and I am not sure everyone really needs to hear my thoughts on particular things. However, I have given in and have decided to create a blog as my life takes me in a new direction.

What’s in a Name?

I debated quite a lot about what I should call this blog. With only a short while to go before I make the transition from bored call centre worker to trainee Librarian I felt it would be fitting to use this new job role in the title.  I am expecting to share my thoughts, anecdotes and no doubt a fair share of book reviews along with generally discussing my progress on my journey into becoming a fully qualified librarian. I felt the web address should not contain the word trainee as in the not so distant future I will no longer be in training!

 To start with I think the best thing would be to introduce who I am. So here are 10 facts to get you started:

1.      My name is Lydia Mary Bales (nee Heather)

2.      I love Jesus

3.      I am married to the wonderful Kev (nearly 2 years)

4.      I am 23

5.      I love to read and get through a copious amount of books a month!

6.      I really, really love Giraffes

7.      I am chatty, confident and all in all a general bubbly character

8.      My spelling and grammar can be a bit questionable so I apologise in advance

9.      I am embarking on a career change and I am soon to start a new job training to be a librarian in a Secondary School.

10.    I am also starting a distance learning Masters course in Information and Library studies.

  I think that’s it for now. Hopefully I will be back soon with my first official blog post!
