Only a week to go until Library Lovers’ Day on 14 February. At ALIA we’d love to know what you’ve got planned for the celebrations. At my own library we’re running a literary lovers’ quiz with a box of chocolates as the prize (predictable I know!). We had a lot of fun coming up with the questions; it led to an extended morning tea with lots of ‘ I loved that book’ comments :-)!

LLD started life as a public library activity but over the few years it’s been in operation we’ve been delighted to see other sectors come on board. Last year we had a fabulous response from school libraries. Let’s take it even further in 2010. As we’ve said many times in the past not everyone gets flowers on this romantic day but everyone has a library they can love.

Meanwhile I’ve created a fantastic prop for my husband’s bookshop to promote Valentine’s Day (well I think it’s great). In a true Better Homes and Gardens moment I had him cut a huge heart out of craft wood which I painted hot pink. I then laid an old lace tablecloth over the top, stood on a chair and blasted it with orange spray paint. The effect is very Tonia Todman! Needless to say the tablecloth has been retired to the tip.

Cheers
