Portals to all the knowledge in the world, libraries are also created
universes of a multitude of imaginations. Librarians guide us to enlightenment
as well as serving as the captains, mages, and gatekeepers who open the doors to
delight, speculation, wonder, and terror. Both inspire writers of speculative
fiction to pen wonderful tales woven around them.
This captivating
compilation of science fiction and fantasy short fiction showcases stories of
librarians-mysterious curators, heroic bibliognosts, arcane archivists,
catalogers of very special collections-and libraries-repositories of arcane
wisdom, storehouses of signals from other galaxies, bastions of culture, the
last outposts of civilization in a post-apocalyptic world . . . grand adventures
and small sagas of the magical places we call libraries and the wizards who
staff them!
