Through Twitter I heard about of a current Kickstarter by library podcaster Steve Thomas: Circulating Ideas: the Librarian Interview Podcast. He says:
My podcast features interviews with librarians, talking about the cool, innovative work they are doing to keep the profession relevant for the 21st century. Here are a few of the most popular episodes:
Sarah Houghton * Jason Griffey * Buffy Hamilton * David Lankes * Bobbi Newman
Check out his podcast and throw him a couple bucks if you can!
“When you have these two important qualifications - love for books and love for people - you may well consider the vocation of a librarian, a vocation that gives full enjoyment to the librarian and radiates it to the public.” - [x]

“Today, 83 percent of librarians are women, but in the 1880s men had the edge, making up 52 percent of the 636 librarians enumerated. In 1930, male librarians were truly rare, making up just 8 percent of the librarian population.”

International Librarians Network
“The International Librarians Network (ILN) peer mentoring program is a facilitated program aimed at helping librarians develop international networks. We believe that innovation and inspiration can cross borders, and that spreading our networks beyond our home countries can make us better at what we do.”
This sounds great!
