Flynn Carsen




Flynn Carsen from The Librarian series is not your traditional librarian.  He goes about the world looking for artifacts to keep in a hidden library.  Flynn has over 20 degrees between Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D.s.  He applies for a job as a librarian in New York and gets a job.  He is now the librarian for an ancient library that protects ancient and magical items.

Bunny Watson






Bunny Watson from Desk Set was a reference librarian for a company.  She was in charge of the others and is very good at her job.  The library answers questions from professional baseball player’s batting averages to the names of Santa’s reindeer.  She helps Ruthie, a newer employee that does not know the reference system that well, with finding information for patrons.  Later in the movie, Miss Watson has to deal with the company merging with another company and having computers brought in to the library.

Evie






Evelyn “Evie” Carnahan from The Mummy was a mishap librarian.  She worked at Cairo's Museum of Antiquities because her parents were great patrons, as we were told in the movie.  However, she longs for adventure.  She jumps at the chance to go to Hamunaptra to find the Book of the Dead even though she goes with someone that she does not know that well.  Despite all of that, she is very good at her job.  She brings a good name to librarians and becomes an idol for young people

Rupert Giles





Rupert Giles from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a good librarian.  He consulted books for information when some people around him were trying to convince him otherwise.  Also, he has shown that he is a librarian.  A librarian is there to help the community whether it is books or other types of information.  Giles does this in the series.  He helps Buffy by training her and teaching her.  Also, when there are demons and monsters threatening them he looks up the information and digs to find everything about it to help them.  

Marian the Librarian


Marian seems like your typical librarian.  However, she tries to get the citizens to look at books that they would not normally look at because they believe that they are dirty.  This makes her a good librarian because she is trying to make available books her patrons would not normally check out.  Sometimes, she is stuck in her ways and is the stereotype that everyone always hears about.  Then the music man comes in and burrows his way into her heart and the town’s.
