The stuff you likely won't find in your local library:

Of course, we also have full-time #librarians at CIA.
They’re in high demand, & it’s not unusual for them to be recruited by other Agency offices because of their exceptional research abilities & training in information science.

Maybe it should.
Some heroes wear cardigans. #AwesomeCon 2019.
