I am thrilled I finally checked out the Boston Athenaeum. Established in 1807 its home to over 500K volumes. Reading is such a central part of who I am. I loved my day.

Why not partner it w/ @ArchivesBoston, @BPLBoston, @bostonathenaeum, @BostonLandmarks, @MHS1791, etc? Perhaps @BostonGlobe, @bostonherald etc. could contribute; a section could focus on publishing today. It’s a small space but the more the merrier to get it going! 4/5
