'The Librarians' blog

"'The Librarians', a six-part ABC TV comedy, goes to air on 31 October 2007. ALIA now has a great new blog to facilitate discussion about the show. The blog is for musing about how the series portrays us, how other media portray us and how others see us and how we see ourselves. Comments are invited from anyone interested in the show.'
See the blog here.
Details of the series are here.
Postscript: a comment from a favourite friend, "Hi Sue, Have you seen the ALIA blog about the series?
A whole lot of stereotypical librarians getting in a fuss about whether the show will have stereotypical librarians in it! Of course it will! Isn’t any publicity good publicity? People who don’t normally use the libraries might come along hoping to see that sort of behaviour and be surprised at how much good stuff there is. I reckon it will be great fun. I notice that Kathryn Greenhill is Second Lifing away with it. We all take ourselves far too seriously."

And..if you search the names on Facebook, you can find profiles for each character.

I friended Frances, the head librarian, and -apparently- she remembers me doing work experience at the Middleton Interactive Learning Centre. It seems that we also took two courses - "Morality, teamwork and libraries" and "Putting the "you" into library rules".
