:The Young Librarian Series

Hello librarians! Leah here. I wanted to share with you a really rad idea going on over at 8bitlibrary.com! It’s called Project Brand Yourself a Librarian, a concept first launched here

http://blog.8bitlibrary.com/2010/01/13/project-brand-yourself-a-librarian/

and was initially devised from a series of Twitter conversations between @justinlibrarian and others. I’ll let Justin and his cohort JP describe the project for you themselves in their interview with ALA

So considering branding yourself at ALA Annual in DC! Also check out 8bitlibrary for some fun info on gaming and libraries. You can also follow them on twitter and become their fan on facebook!
