I read a great novel featuring a librarian last year called Breach of Trust by DiAnn Mills but that librarian was also a former CIA agent. It is a suspense novel that received a great review in Booklist. A few years ago I read a romance novel featuring the Mafia and a librarian but I can't remember how she was portrayed or what it was called.<br /><br />Is there a list anywhere of books featuring librarians?Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6075890361193230583.post-26600212439077684352010-03-15T10:33:41.800-05:002010-03-15T10:33:41.800-05:00Go librarians!

I love seeing stories with good strong librarians (and teachers).<br />P.S. I'm so jealous that you're a YA librarian.
