Foreword

Hi and welcome to my blog that will (hopefully) chronicle the development of my understanding of the role of the Teacher Librarian.

But before I get into that I might as well tell you a little about me.

I'm 22 (nearly 23 - oh no!) and I live at home with my parents, younger sister and a menagerie of animals in the idyllic little village of Vacy in NSW. I don't know whether you would call it a village but it is certainly small enough to classify as one. It is roughly 1 hour north-west (? - I have a terrible sense of direction) of Newcastle and is situated between Dungog, Paterson and Gresford.

I graduated from Newcastle University this year (2010) and have, as yet, been unsuccessful in finding employment. My degree is Bachelor of Teaching/Bachelor of Design and Technology and I specialise in Textiles and Food Technology. (Although I am not a very good cook - but practicing when I can).

At this moment in time I am calling the newest addition to our family, London (kitten under six months), down out of the tree before she falls while waiting for my pie filling to cool (Chicken and Leek for dinner tonight) and taking the time to set up this blog.

So stick around as I have some cooking adventures and learn what being a Teacher-Librarian is all about.
