  2. David Eddings _ King of the Murgos

    The old man was peering intently at the shelves. 'I'll have to admit that he's a very competent scholar.'Isn't he just a librarian?'

  3. Marilyn Johnson _ This Book Is Overdue!: How

    A library is a place to go for a reality check, a bracing dose of literature, or a "true reflection of our history," whether it's a brick-and-mortar building constructed a century ago or a fanciful arrangement of computer codes. The librarian is the organizer, the animating spirit behind it, and the navigator. Her job is to create order out of the confusion of the past, even as she enables us to blast into the future.

  5. Marilyn Johnson _ This Book Is Overdue!: How

    Librarians' values are as sound as Girl Scouts': truth, free speech, and universal literacy. And, like Scouts, they possess a quality that I think makes librarians invaluable and indispensable: they want to . They want to help . They want to be of service. And they're not trying to sell us anything.

  9. Jeanette Winterson _ Why Be Happy When You Could Be

    The librarian was explaining the benefits of the Dewey decimal system to her junior--benefits that extended to every area of life. It was orderly, like the universe. It had logic. It was dependable. Using it allowed a kind of moral uplift, as one's own chaos was also brought under control.'Whenever I am troubled,' said the librarian, 'I think about the Dewey decimal system.''Then what happens?' asked the junior, rather overawed.'Then I understand that trouble is just something that has been filed in the wrong place. That is what Jung was explaining of course--as the chaos of our unconscious contents strive to find their rightful place in the index of consciousness.

    I'm a librarian in town,' she began. 'You sure about that?'The words popped out before he could stop them. Annabelle raised her eyebrows. 'Fairly. It's my job and so far no one has told me to go away when I show up for work.' he thought, 'I was expecting someone wearing glasses. You know. Because librarians read a lot.'

  11. Mercedes Lackey _ One Good Knight

    You know that all dragons collect treasure of one sort or another, correct?" he asked, looking straight at Andie."That's The Tradition, of course," she replied. "I don't know how you could possibly escape that particular compulsion.""Well, our family does that, too, of course," he said. "But our treasure is a bit different. We're librarians."He held up his fore-claws and she saw that they had been blunted; looking closer, she saw that what was covering the talons were sheaths of some sort with blunt tips. Well, if they were librarians... they'd have to keep from damaging the books, wouldn't they?"Librarians," she said aloud, then grinned as she got it. "Good gods. You are Bookwyrms, aren't you?"Gina stared at her a moment, then groaned as she got the pun. The Tradition loved puns.
