I was quite excited when I saw the publicity for cpd23 come through on a Listserv, as I had heard good things about 23 Things, but hadn't got any further than doing a few searches to see what it was all about. By being presented with the opportunity to experiment with all the things 23 Things offers, in a structured format, and to have it targeted in such a way that it promotes professional development - well, I thought this is worth a look.
I am the type of person who needs to see a reason for trying out new things i.e. there was no way I was going to experiment with setting up a blog just for the sake of setting up a blog. But I have been a librarian for just on 30 years now, and I know I need to try and keep abreast of developments so as to stay relevant. So I am always on the lookout for opportunities to expand my knowledge. And I must say, I'm impressed at just how easy this first step has been. Let the journey begin...

Hi - I am a public librarian in Kaitaia and must, of course, follow all my NZ colleagues, so hi. I'm looking forward to learning heaps. Nice to meet you. Helen
