Brarians

Since the neologism "cybrarian" combines "cyber" with "librarian" to mean a librarian who organizes cyber information, let's consider other combinations that would define aspects of the profession. Here are a few possibilities:

A crybrarian finds release in romance novels
A drybrarian is in charge of collections about deserts
A flybrarian knows a lot about entomology
A frybrarian gives answers in short order
A guybrarian champions brawny books with buckskin binding and rugged prose
A highbrarian works in airplane libraries
A mybrarian delivers personal service
An oybrarian is in a continuous state of exasperation
A prybrarian is constitutionally nosy
A shybrarian is difficult to locate
A slybrarian is on an administrative path
A stybrarian is messy
A sprybrarian acts younger than she or he is
A wrybrarian sees things as they are--but wishes they weren't
