Activity Week 3

My favorite library blog is actually a photoblog called This is What a Librarian Looks Like.  The blog consists of user submitted portraits and short captions. The mission is to break the librarian stereotype and show the world the interesting people who choose the profession. 

I selected this blog because I think it serves a valuable purpose. The librarian stereotype is pervasive in our society, most people think librarians are angry sshhing old ladies. We need to change that stereotype and show our society what librarians actually look like.

I think the main characteristic of a successful blog is an interesting topic. You have to write about something that people will care about and write on a regular basis. The blog I selected is successful because the librarian stereotype affects a lot of people and the idea of people changing this stereotype on library at a time is really interesting.

We need to go from this
