Librarians Love Us

Gentle readers, a few links for you, and both by authors who stem from one of my favorite professions: librarians!

A very neat blog named Folderol: A Spooky Librarians Production linked to this very blog, and even graced us with our finest compliment to date: "best title ever..." Thanks, Folderol, for the link, and come back anytime.

And from very close to home, a librarian with the vaunted Montgomery County Public Library system linked to this blog, and for that we say, thanks! She's very nice, too, calling this blog "charming" and all.

As someone who spent an untold number of hours using the MCPL (Rockville branch, old-school style, back in the day) as part-time babysitter and enabler of geek addictions as a wayward teen, I have a great fondness for librarians. Especially today, because as a purveyor of information in my chosen field, I am compelled to put on a pedestal someone whose expertise is in weighing and judging the quality of all sorts of information, and have that uncanny knack to find out anything about anything with alacrity. (Without librarians, how else would I even know how to find out what alacrity means?)
