Librarians as Superheroes

If information is power, then there's no hero mightier than a librarian. Librarians are superheroes, adventurers, explorers and invaluable guides to other heroes. Here are 20 amazing librarians who save the world every day!

It's too bad that the Library of Congress is protected from the world behind the national security apparatus, rather than being open to the world. In addition, non-researching visitors also never get to go into the library reading rooms, rather they are made to roam around the large decorative halls. My students have told me that when they visited they asked, Where are the books? Where is the reading going on?
