ALL over the place

This post hopes to be the first in a series of photos depicting our very own Australian Law Librarian journal with a variety of celebrities and in different locations around the world.

The journal's first meet-and-greet was with members of the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block, who were here in Australia for their NKOTBSB world tour in May.

Mawghan with Brian Littrell from the Backstreet Boys. Photo taken after he had a quick flick through the journal and asked what a law librarian was!

Mawghan with Danny Wood from New Kids on the Block, after trying to explain what a Law Librarian was for about 5 minutes only to be told “I don’t understand you”

Finally, a picture of Mawghan with all of the Backstreet Boys!

Going on holidays? Don't forget to take the Australian Law Librarian! You just never know who you will meet, or what you will see.
