If the library is, as Borges put it, a model of the universe, we must try to transform it into a universe on a human scale, and, I would remind you, a human scale also means a light-hearted scale, with the chance of a coffee, even with the chance for two students to sit down on a couch for an afternoon and, if not to indulge in indecent behaviour, at least enjoy the continuation of their flirtation in the library as they take down or replace some books of scientific interest from their shelves. In other words, a library people feel like going to.
Umberto Eco, “De Bibliotheca”

Librarians have always had a deep-seated, and often irrational, faith in education - especially book-centered, informal education - as a panacea for society’s ills.

Oh my gosh.  In the Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince movie, Hermione shelves books in the library.  Win for book shelvers!
