Library Achiever Award Ceremony
I was encouraged to attend the ALIA SA Library Achiever Award Ceremony sponsored by Ex Libris at the State Library of South Australia (it looks great these days)
The three finalists for the 2009 Library
Achiever of the Year award were:
Helen Culshaw, Law Librarian, Flinders University;Lindy Hillman,Manager, Burnside Library Service; and Elena Pereira, Business Development Coordinator, from the Adelaide City Council Library
It was a good evening where I caught up with library colleagues from my various affiliations in libraries over the years and saw the award won by a librarian from Burnside Library, Lindy Hillman
Here is Jenny Paradiso from Ex Libris(and her lovely baby) and Ian Hildebrand from Mt Barker Community Library
Here are some law library staff networking (Margaret Chamberlain, Helen Culshaw and Rebecca Thomas)
Lots of networking
The big announcement from Jo-Anne Rivers from the sponsor, Ex Libris
The catering, donated by SA Library Supplies was very good as well..
Sincere thanks to Philip Keane for getting me back to Meadows after the ceremony and to Barbara Coat for encouraging me to go....I owe you a lot!!!

Pleasant Sunday in the Vales..
Sue Milne and her boys Fergus and Callum joined Barb and her family and I for an excursion on Sunday afternoon
We headed off to the Sea and Wines Festival at McClaren Vale, but this turned in a rather crowded mud bath with queues of people for food and wine glasses and then wine. I was quite cold although this woman ignored it..
The kids enjoyed themselves
We actually only sampled one wine and drove past most venues we had any interest in as they all had signs "Venue Full" anyway.
We ended up having a nice pub lunch at the the 153 year old Alma Hotel at Willunga
On the way home we sampled some wine at the delighful K1 Winery at Kuipto Forest
What a view from the deck there!

Chauffeur run to Mawson Lakes
I acted as driver and child care worker so that Barbara could escort an interstate work colleague out to Mawson Lakes campus of UNISA. I took Chloe to a local playground
This was shot by Chloe!
