New Friends

Because this is a ‘no work’ blog I am not going to talk about all the cool work things that have been happening at the ALIA conference in Alice Springs. That, I am saving for work next week. However, one of the best things about conferences is making new friends. Although they might only be friends for a week, they are your family and friends when you are far from home. We talk work a lot but our lovely new friends are from very different libraries so although there are similarities, there are more differences. Although I have met tons of fab people, our ‘friends’ have all been from Queensland. Being the uber friendly state it is probably not a surprise. These are the people we caught up with for breakfast, at morning tea, occasional meals and so on. Also our friends in the audience when we delivered our paper to about 100 people.

Michael from Melbourne was also a welcoming and supportive friend in the audience too but his picture is already here.
