Spending the day in one of my favorite places - The #Archives nationales du #Québec in #Montréal. In addition to its fine collections, it features a truly glorious reading room.

#FollowFriday on #Mastodon can definitely be a thing, and if it glorifies #librarians, so much the better!

I'm not a #librarian, but I'm keenly aware that librarians belong to one of those underappreciated professions that keep the world running.

At their best, librarians #democratize #access to #data, #information, #knowledge, and #wisdom.

Other #underappreciated #professionals who keep the world running include #SocialWorkers, #secretaries, #nurses, and #PublicSchool #teachers.

(Now what do these all have in common, besides being #undervalued? Could it be that the front line jobs in these #professions are mostly staffed by #WOMEN ?)
