Blogging is cathartic. Whether anyone else reads one's musings is dependent on whether or not the writer has struck a cord with their reader. I wonder though if people who set up their first blog think about their reader or even about any reader for that matter as blogging at first tends to be a reflective piece for one's own evaluation. My topic for this blog spins around the idea of what is a library, it's purpose, it's readers, it's future. Like the clay tablet of Lugalbanda that I discussed in an earlier blog, the future library may not be brick and mortar but I believe it will still exist in some form or another as we are inquiring humans, not just satisfied with yesterday's printed word but with tomorrow's analysis of yesterday's printed word. Setting up a blog is easy. What is hard is writing that perfect essay that strikes a cord with someone else. I believe Ben struck such a cord with his Leather Apron Club.
