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.
