Today is Librarian Day! This date is a tribute to the librarian, writer and poet Manuel Bastos Tigre, who was born on March 12, 1882. In 1906, after finishing his engineering course, Manuel studied electricity in the United States. There, he met the librarian Melvil Dewey, who got him interested in the profession. At age 33, Manuel went to work in librarianship and did so well that he came first in the competition for librarian at the National Museum in Rio de Janeiro. Between 1945 and 1947, he worked at the National Library and later took over the direction of the Central Library of the University of Brazil. The day has been officially celebrated since 1980, when the President of the Republic João Figueiredo signed decree number 84,631 on April 9.
