Wiki

I had a look on the Mint Museum Wiki and found the Historic Costume Collection interesting. I enjoyed looking at all the old clothes and seeing what fashion used to be like. I think libraries might be able to use a Wiki to communicate with other staff or maybe the public??? I am still getting the hang of a Wiki as it is still very new to me.

Jondaryan Woolshed

This is a photo of the Station Smithy at Jondaryan Woolshed I found on Flickr. Jondaryan Woolshed is a great place to visit. The Heritage Festival in August is well worth going to. I went for the first time a few years ago and have gone every year since. It is such a friendly place I have volunteered during the festival for the last few years and plan to do it again this year. There are lots of programs running during the 9 days. Sheep shearing, Blacksmith, Olden day school demonstrations, Damper baking, Bullocks, Machinery, Milking and much, much more. Have a look on the Jondaryan Woolshed web site to find out about the other events they run throughout the year. It is well worth visiting and maybe you could stay the night in one of their cabins, rustic shearers quarters or in the powered camping area which they have there. www.jondaryanwoolshed.com

About Me

Hi My name is Katie and I am a Trainee at the Gatton Library. I started at the beginning of this year and have learnt a lot! When I started I did not realise how much work went into getting the books onto the shelves at the library. I am enjoying working here and seeing all the books before they go onto the shelf. This morning I have been working on my TAFE studies. It is keeping me busy. I have done a Story time here once and really enjoyed it. It was fun reading, singing, and doing a craft with the children. I think the children enjoyed it too. I am looking forward to the next time I do Story time. Kris and Shay are a bad influence on me because when they eat chocolate I can't help myself and have to eat some too. Ha Ha. I have been merging authors and that is a really boring job. It makes me sleepy. But it is something that has to be done so it is best to get on with it. I really enjoy serving customers and answering the phone. It is interesting to see what kind of books people borrow and which are really popular authors.
