On Saturday night, when I wasn’t feeling well, I spent far too much time lying under a quilt, moaning piteously, and watching a Harry Potter movie marathon on ABC Family. However, this did not stop me from thinking profound librarian-ish thoughts that surely no one’s ever thought before.

So does the Hogwarts’ library have a massive card catalog? Or can librarians modify the Summoning Charm to search by author, title, etc.

Though I love @jk_rowling, I’m not sure she’s told us enough about librarianship in the wizarding world. #libquestions #cataloging

So, back to librarians in the wizarding world. Madam Pince is the old-school stereotype. Hogwarts definitely needs #newlibrarianship.

Snape has an impressive home library. I’d gladly catalog it for him. #HalfBloodPrince

Should there be a Restricted Section in the Hogwarts library? Discuss. #censorship #LibrarianProblems

These questions may have little practical value in the Muggle real world. But they did lend a bit of context to what I’m learning in my classes, and they certainly helped me feel better.
