Yes, Pratchett's Unseen University librarian and the world he inhabits
are superb creations, and Guards! Guards!, the book in which he mainly
features, contains the immortal quotation:
"Someone out there was about to find out that their worst nightmare was
a maddened Librarian. With a badge."

If we're talking fictional librarians too, how about Terry Pratchett's
orang-utan http://wiki.lspace.org/wiki/Librarian, or even the Monty
Python sketch http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ukJmF6f0JdQ ?! I gave a
friend the book 'Doctors in Fiction' a while ago - perhaps someone
should petition to author to write 'Librarians in Fiction'. Or has it
been done already?

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.
