the main protagonist and Madam Irma Pince is the librarian at Hogwarts during the Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling. Madam Pince embodies many negative librarian stereotypes- she's controlling, intimidating, she shushes, and she values books over patrons. Similarly, the Librarian in Terry Pratchett's Discworld fantasy series, a once-human wizard who manages the library at the Unseen University, Lucien serves on the Dream palace staff as chief librarian in Neil Gaiman's The Sandman series, and Welcome to Nightvale's Rabid Librarians will go to incredibly violent ends to ensure that the community is reading.
