Perhaps the greatest library and librarian scene in Hollywood films is the Thatcher Library sequence from _Citizen Kane_, in which the reporter goes to read the memoires of Kane's foster father. Other films with library scenes: Cary Grant gets alcohol poured down his throat in a mansion's private library early in _North By Northwest_. While we are on the subject of Hitchcock, Charlie figures out how evil her uncle by reading newspapers in the Santa Rosa public library in _Shadow of a doubt_. I'm fairly certain the library sequence involved a librarian. I may well think of more later. -- Ben Alpers
