* Lucien in ''ComicBook/TheSandman1989'', who maintains the Library of Dream, which contains every book anybody ever thought or dreamed about writing, from the masterpieces of great authors who died before committing them to paper, down to the novel you always tell yourself you'll write one day. (''The Bestselling Romantic Spy Thriller I Used To Think About On The Bus That Would Sell A Billion Copies And Mean I'd Never Have to Work Again''. Not exactly the catchiest of titles, is it?) He knows everything about every book in the library, including where each of them is at any given moment, although at one point he admits that this comes at the cost of not being able to remember most things that happen outside the library, including who he was before he became the librarian.
* The ''Magazine/DoctorWhoMagazine'' comic, for an explicit homage to ''Literature/TheLionTheWitchAndTheWardrobe'', casts the Doctor as one for an extended fantasy sequence that takes almost an entire strip.
* Balberith from ''ComicBook/{{Hellraiser}}'' was originally a normal human librarian and mother who, after trying and failing to find a cure for her son's illness, wound up in the possession of a [[ArtifactOfDoom Lament Configuration]] given to her by an Agent of Leviathan. When she solved the box, she opened a portal to Hell where she was taken and [[BeingTorturedMakesYouEvil turned into a cenobite]], her final human moment seeing that her son had been cured with the knowledge that she will never see him again. She now acts as the librarian to Hell's library, many of the more learned damned souls that end up in Hell transformed into books that catalogue Leviathan's history and grand plan.
* ''ComicBook/WonderWoman'' [[ComicBook/WonderWoman1987 Vol 2]]: The library on Themyscira is manned by ancient immortal Amazons, and contains many stacks that can only be accessed through knowing the right magic. This becomes a bit of a problem for [[ComicBook/WonderGirl Cassie Sandsmark]] when she is trying to do some research on the Olympians without drawing attention as the volumes she wants are ones she cannot just slide off a shelf.

Books and [[MagicalLibrary libraries]] in fiction can be mystical things; keepers of information, certainly, of secrets and [[SpellBook sometimes of magic]], as well. It's natural, therefore, that some authors like to spread some of that magic onto the ''librarian'', too--when they aren't making them [[HotLibrarian hot]] or [[ScaryLibrarian scary]], that is. A magic librarian will very often have the ability to send readers (or people who either ''don't'' read or disparage books, to [[AnAesop teach 'em a lesson]]) into [[PortalBook the world within the books]], and sometimes, pity those who don't return their books to the library before the due date.
