Merflerher Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 As usual, I've leapt straight in and posted on various threads without noticing there's an introductions thread...doh! Anyways, I'm Margaret aka Merflerher (nickname invented by one of my pupils). I'm a school librarian in a boys school in South London, I'm 50 going on 18 and I read anything that comes my way. I run a very large library, over 30K books, and I try to speed read everything we acquire. I've also kept a reading diary since 1972. I'm currently going through a nostalgia phase and trying to track down some of the books I read as a child. Glad to have found this site and I hope I'll make a lot of friends here:D Quote

Glad to have found this site and I hope I'll make a lot of friends here:D Glad to have you here. Hope you enjoy! Quote
Michelle Posted July 31, 2007 Posted July 31, 2007 Re the intros thread, the Announcements section does say to read that first, and within that is a specific message for new members. I'm afraid I can't make it much clearer than that! Quote

Merflerher Posted July 31, 2007 Author Posted July 31, 2007 Hello and , Margaret. What an unusual nickname - how did your pupil come to award it to you? I'm usually known as Mrs FH to my pupil librarians. My initials are MLFH, and I use all of them when I'm signing things. One of the boys was commenting on it and playfully muttering them and came up with 'muhleferher' which quickly became merflerher, and now they all call me that. Quote

JudyB Posted August 2, 2007 Posted August 2, 2007 Hello and welcome - hope you enjoy it here. I know what you mean about being nostalgic about childhood books - I've put a lot of mine on LibraryThing even if I don't still have them just to see the covers again. Quote
