Heather's children's biblioblog

Hallo. I'm Heather the children's librarian for Cardiff. I'm getting quite excited about how Cardiff libraries may be able to get our children's reading groups involved in biblioblogging (like making up words). I love the way children get so excited about the books they enjoy and if we could encourage them all to share just some of this on a blog, perhaps we could start small with children in libraries and then blog further with primary schools and families.

Anna from the children's library has plans too, so we'll probably mingle and merge in some way.

Looking forward to fun and games!

Project for Children's Library Services

I'm intending to co-ordinate Children's Reading Groups within Cardiff libraries to create a private Readers' Blog community.

Fingers Crossed!

My mindmap shows a plan for introducing Blogging to the Reading Groups in the Vale branches.

Currently the reports of discussions in the groups are posted on the library's page on the Vale website, but by using Blogger it is hoped to reach a wider audience. It will be more dynamic because the reviews can be added to by anyone in the group and it is hoped to enhance readers' experience by including author biographies and interviews, subjects for discussion and further suggestions for reading.
