Well, I have a Bloglines account and receive a half dozen or so RSS feeds now. A couple are from my co-workers blogs, one is a cartoon (Unshelved) and the others are related to libraries as well. The search tools I used to find library blogs were: Bloglines, Syndic8 and Topix.net. The easiest to use was Bloglines and I found 2 of my feeds there. I did find another through Syndic8, but it was confusing the way it was set up (almost like programming language).
My search terms were: libraries and then "Colorado libraries". Sadly, there was very little under the second term. My most useful feeds are from: Tame the Web: Libraries and Technology. This is by Michael Stephens. I saw him speak at ALA on Technology for Teens. He's very knowledgeable, but a little obsessed with Second Life. The other is simply called Blog about Libraries. All sorts of library-related topics are covered. My favorite deals with "I didn't get an MLS to help people with computer problems". It talks about how librarians who aren't up on technology resent the patron computer problems. Another over-the-top feed is called Libraryman. It is kind of funny and very teen-oriented.
