Bus tour of Libraries, Sept 23 - Saturday

click06 conference blog
The investment in new Libraries and their services in the WA - Perth area is nothing less than amazing. The bus tour captured the energy and capital investment made and is an indication of the value placed on promoting a literate community who is provided with wonderful opportunities to love words and enjoy learning.

Stops included the Parlimentary Library, Curtin University, The Gosnells Knowledge Centre, Murdoch TAFE Public Library in Rockingham and finally Stirling Defence Library on Garden Island.

The day was relaxed allowing plenty of time to listen staff discuss the uniquness of each of their Libraries, with time to be gently guided through each building. There was time for talking among the Librarians on the bus and some wonderful questions and sharing of experiences made the day better again.

There was a contented quietness on the journey back to Perth, with a stop in Freo for those who wished to tour independently.

This Librarian was more than fragile by the end of this very last Click06 day. So much to take in, new ideas bubbling in my idea.

I have now spent a few days unwinding and taking the sights of Perth before returning East for work next week.

The conference was a fantastic opportunity, one that I most certainly have enjoyed and made the most of. To everyone involved in the Conference thank you - those who organised and particpanted. It was very good time, and a memorable one.
