Comments on: One year and 200 posts later… http://librarygarden.net/2007/03/27/one-year-and-200-posts-later-2/ An ongoing conversation among librarians with differing perspectives (public, academic, school, consortial, youth) but one shared goal: ensuring the health and relevance of libraries.

I can’t believe it. The Garden is one of my very favorite blogs not just because of the content (which is really, really good) but because in your writings each of you always reminds me of the best of what libraries are all about whether its innovative ideas, thoughtful analysis or generosity of spirit. I love you guys!

I have been so swamped this week at work and at home with a sick child that I have barely had time to sleep. I wanted to write a post worthy of this occasion, but I guess I will have to be satisfied with a comment to Pete’s wonderful post for now.

Library Garden has brought so much to my life this past year. I am honored to blog with such outstanding and diverse librarians. Friendships have been made and/or strengthened in the last 12 months thanks to this blog.

I remember when we were thrilled to have 90 feeds a few months after we began LG, and I look in awe when I see the new ticker that Pete added that shows us up well over 1,000 feeds. Wow… thank you to everyone who reads and comments. We appreciate each and every single reader.

Our original goal was to post on average 3-4 times per week as a group. Since we hit the 200 mark on our 1st anniversary, that means we averaged 3.8 posts per week. I am looking forward to the next 200 posts and what they might bring.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at NJLA in a few weeks. Now, back to Mommy duties and my sick toddler.

Welcome to Library Garden and thanks for your Blogiversary wishes!

Jenny and Chrsytie, I really appreciate you both stopping by to wish us well. Thanks for your continued inspiration and for generously sharing your wonderful ideas, work, and writings with the library community.

And Robert, I don’t even have the words to thank you for all you’ve brought into my life since we first me in February of 1998 at Train-the-Trainer. I felt like we were old friends in the first five minutes. I suspect many people feel that way upon meeting you, since you radiate such a spirit of friendly exuberance. :-) Looking forward to seeing you at NJLA!

Thanks for the very kind words, Pete, and it’s truly a happy anniversary for all of us here at Library Garden! I think it has been a fantastic year and a very rewarding professional development ride for me, personally, along the way. I am proud to have assisted in a small way in getting our blog up and running and it’s been a privilege to be a voice for academic librarians within it. Looking forward to spending more time with you and everyone, in person at NJLA, and at the Garden!
