Let’s say that you are a school librarian, and let’s say you’ve decided that like many of the teachers in your school, you too are ready to use a blog to connect with parents and students, to share your latest news and events, or perhaps to develop your own personal learning network (PLN).
You’re motivated and ready to begin, but you may have some lingering questions about the best way to get started and maybe you’re not entirely sure how to organize your new blog.
Unfortunately, searching the internet for “how to create a great library blog” doesn’t yield many helpful answers. There are some sites that come up in that search that appear useful, but overall it seems to make more sense to just visit library blogs, see what works and what doesn’t, and craft your blog around the ideas you like the best.
To make that process easier, we’ve compiled a list of library blogs on Edublogs. These blogs are wonderful examples of what library blogs can be, and they will hopefully provide you with a little inspiration and a lot of good ideas.

I’m an It Librarian and Social Media Manager at an urban public library in CT. I recently decided to create my own website where I could easily access all the great digital tools out there. So, I’m reaching out to librarians to share my new website called Library Tech Talk and get some feedback if you’d be willing. I hope you’ll check it out and let me know what you think. https://librarytechtalk.com
You definitely should add the great library blog at Tenambit Public school.
