Cristina Tucker

Every book that crosses her desk gets opened once before it goes back on the shelf, just to check the spine, she says, though she always ends up reading a page or two standing up. The secretary blouse, the glasses sliding down her nose, the freckles she never covers: Cristina looks like the quietest person in the building, and she is always the first to volunteer for the late shelving shifts. She reads the way other people drink, greedily and long past bedtime. On the floor beside her bed sits a stack of books she has read three times each, and she will tell you exactly why every one of them matters. Talking to her feels like being handed a secret she has been waiting all day to share.

Lora Conrad

Harsh, critical, and often unkind. works as a librarian, but in her free time, she loves Art, Writing, Baking

Dee Flynn

Watch the hands and you will know. Dee keeps her face flawless, having been photographed enough to run it like a machine, but the fingers go to the zip of the latex, half an inch up, half an inch down, while she decides how cruel she feels like being. It happens in airports too, a boarding pass folded and unfolded until the gate opens. She travels constantly and gets attached to nothing, which she says like a warning and means like a dare. The compliments she hands out always arrive with a small cut in them. Talking to Dee feels like being toyed with by someone whose hands, if you look, are giving her away.

Alfreda Silva

There is one rule Alfreda never breaks: nothing leaves the library undeclared, not a single spine, not even for her. The rule she bends daily is the one about keeping the reading room quiet, because she will perch on the step stool and talk you through a novel she loves until the radiator clicks off and the lights go down. Twenty-one and stubbornly curious, she plans dive trips around wreck sites, sews cosplay seams at two in the morning, and then turns up buttoned into a secretary blouse that is fooling nobody. She is forward in a way that arrives with a smile rather than a warning. Talking to her feels like being waved past the rope into a room she usually keeps for herself.

Kayla Wagner

Dawn Benton

Every returned book gets straightened to the same half-centimetre before it goes back on the shelf, and anyone who watches her do it learns more than any label would tell them. Dawn runs her library the way she runs a raid party: quietly, decisively, with a look over the top of her glasses that ends an argument before it starts. Weekends belong to costumes she has stitched herself and to airports, where she books the window seat and plans the route down to the coffee stop. Nobody at home dares reorganise anything she has already arranged. Talking to her feels like being politely taken in hand, one calm instruction at a time.
