I am intrigued by the Library of Congress blog. It has such a personal chatty style which contrasts with what you might expect from a government agency. It's interesting to note that it does have a disclaimer: "This blog does not represent official Library of Congress communications. "
I also like the links off to their services including the catalogue, digital collections and "ask a librarian" this really integrates the blog with their website and promotes their resources. I note that the author, who is the Library’s Director of Communications has a background in journalism and speech writing.
This is the type of blog that I would put in an rss feed so I could keep up with what's happening at their library. It would be great to have something like this for our organisation.

That blog/ger has found his voice.
Natural but informative without sounding like a teacher/lecturer.
It should be easy...surely someone within the library has this level of communication skill that has broad appeal with out being too simplistic?
