One of the best ways to find more feeds you would like to read is to read the ones that your favorite bloggers are reading. Look for a "blogroll," a list of blogs that a blogger reads or recommends (scroll down to the bottom of the right sidebar of What I Learned Today for an extensive, categorized list of feeds that Nicole Engard reads). Also note when your favorite bloggers link to another blog--that's usually an indication that blog is in their RSS feed reader.
There are two search engines, LISZEN and LibWorm, that were created to search library and librarian blogs around the world. Try typing in one of your pet library projects, issues, or concerns, to see which library blogs cover that area.
Find some other blogs you might enjoying reading by searching in general blog search engines like Google Blog Search or Technorati. Try searches on "Cardinals baseball" or "cardinals bird," on knitting or NASCAR, on "information literacy" or "integrated library system."
Don't forget to add any blogs you want to follow to your Google Reader! And write a blog post so that the rest of us can check out the blogs you found, too.

I also try to see if bloggers have their Bloglines profiles public like http://bloglines.com/public/talia679 (that's mine). Then you can export that person's list and import it to your account and weed accordingly.
I did this to start my collection - I imported lists from a few people I respected and then added and deleted as needed.
