Have you hugged a special librarian today?

Why you ask? Because today is International Special Librarians Day!

Of course I know I'm a "special" librarian, but in this context special means something else. A special library is one that falls outside the context of what most people think of when they envision a library, which is generally a public or academic institution. Special librarians work in any type of environment outside that, for example, in a law, health sciences or corporate setting.

So if you run into your favorite special librarian today, wish them well and tell them thanks for all they do.
