And let's not forget Marion Paroo in 'The Music Man' , who exposes
conmen and stands up to the mayor and local gossips. Possibly the only
musical to contain a song addressed to a librarian
http://www.stlyrics.com/lyrics/themusicman/marianthelibrarian.htm (I am
waiting to be proved wrong.....)
And if anybody is in Crawley, West Sussex during the week of 27th
October they will be able to come and see me in 'The Music Man'. Sadly
not playing the Librarian, but the Mayor's wife (Hermione Gingold in the
film).

Two more librarian-poets: Douglas Dunn (formerly at Hull) and Richard
Price (currently at the BL)

Perhaps poets aren't particularly famous ... relatively speaking.

That's great Mike,
You could add Philip Larkin, not a superhero or a communist (that I know
of), but he did write this little joy:

Whilst tidying up I came upon some webpages I prepared for National
Health Libraries Week a few years ago. Not wanting to waste them, I've
update them and they are now posted on our website for your delight.
