Not so distant future blog has a post with Twitter advice to new library school students :

Getting Started
On Monday, a group of library school students is coming to visit my library, so today I asked my colleagues on Twitter to share their advice to new or incoming librarians...

If I had to express my advice in 140 characters, I think it would be:
embrace the new, support and collaborate with teachers, put students first, always learn, share your passion, always reflect, lead change


And this is totally unrelated to libraries but a heartwarming animal story shared as an "end of year" post on Bib 2.0 blog...
