Perusing the Vere Harmsworth Library site gives an excellent display of the versatility of blogs - the ability to gather together useful links to other sites and catalogues. I particularly liked the random display of book covers - colourful as well as informative - and the cloud display of tags. And RSS feeds are a great way of keeping readers informed of what is going on in the library, helping them to feel involved and part of a library community. Great stuff!
Looking at other blogs it's interesting to see how many went on the Web 2.0 study day in 2008, and are welcoming the chance to reacquaint themselves with the Web 2.0 tools.
I agree with 'College Library jottings' that the Blogger interface isn't very intuitive - having to select 'Customise' in order to get to the tagged menu and edit posts.

Thanks for the nice write-up! :) I certainly find the blog is a great way to really promote a lot about the library, very versatile and so easy to update compared to our website.
