This weekend, TNT aired "The Librarian" movies. It reminds me of other great references to books and libraries.
From The Mummy (1999):

Google can bring you back 100,000 answers, a librarian can bring you back the right one.
― Neil Gaiman
When the going gets tough, the tough get a librarian.
― Joan Bauer
A book is a fragile creature, it suffers the wear of time, it fears rodents, the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.
— Umberto Eco
Not all librarians are evil cultists. Some librarians are instead vengeful undead who want to suck your soul.
― Brandon Sanderson, Alcatraz Versus the Scrivener's Bones
From The Mummy (1999):
Evelyn: I may not be an explorer, or an adventurer, or a treasure-seeker, or a gunfighter, Mr. O'Connell, but I am proud of what I am.From the Doctor Who episode "Tooth and Claw" (2006):
Rick: And what is that?
Evelyn: I… am a librarian.
Sir Robert: Nevertheless, that creature won't give up, Doctor, and we still don't possess an actual weapon!I found the idea of being a librarian very appealing—working in a place where people had to whisper and only speak when necessary. If only the world were like that!
The Doctor: Oh, your dad got all the brains, didn't he?
Rose Tyler: Being rude again!
The Doctor: Good, I meant that one. You want weapons? We're in a library! Books! The best weapons in the world! This room's the greatest arsenal we could have - arm yourselves!
