Lucent Librarian...lighting the way with information.

Brooke Long said:

Name: "Due Date" ... on time or else!

Fritz Yarrison said:

Name her "Call Number" because the call number tells you everything you need to know: The letters and numbers assigned to the work describe its subject matter and serves as its address on the shelf -- "Call Number is all you need."

Joseph Foley said:

Call her "Knowledge Woman", she can always out smart and out think her opposition

Wes Culp said:

"Hard Copy" -- at a time when books are giving way to electronic media, "Hard Copy" comes to the rescue, reminding us that real books are the Real McCoy. Is that her Dewey Decimal Decoder Ring?!

Kira Condee-Padunova said:

By day, she is Ezra Binder, your friendly local librarian. By night and in times of distress she becomes RECALL, capturing criminals with overdue materials, putting lost books back in their correct place and preventing her arch enemy, SPILLAGE from destroying her precious collection. Using methods that will soon become available to librarians everywhere, she fights a continuous battle for peace, justice and good books.

Book Brigadian. Don't worry if you can't find a book. The Book Brigadian will assemble her army and hunt it down for you. Or wait? Maybe you should worry?.... Late books? She'll find you!

The Database Ace! Her Alias- Kat A. Log. Her special move: THE EICHE STRIKEE!!!! Sometimes I amaze myself.

Tim said:

I like Sam Wagner's names - Kat A. Log and Database Ace. if i could enter I'd name her Bee Quiet AKA the superhero Shhhh.

The Literator, liberating the world with literature.

Greg said:

Keeping up with the Blue & White theme she's got going on, I suggest she be dubbed The Literary Lioness. Her sign could be a lion within a book silhouette, and we could build a giant spotlight on the library's roof to to project it onto the sky. Good times for all.

Mike Stolz said:

Given that she's garbed in pretty sophisticated (especially for a superheroine) clothes, and the fact that she's an icon of information and knowledge, as well as entertainment, I'd say she needs a name that's representative of her station.

Lady Paige Turner
The Duchess of Data
Sorceress of Sources

Or if you're looking for a more dynamic name:

Literary Fairy
Lady Canon/ The Human Canon
The Unabridged Witch
The Book Markswoman
The Inquisitor
The Inquirer
The Rememberizer
The Reader Revanchist (because she's trying to bring people back into the world of information and reading)
The Archivist

A few more:

Lady Wordsworth (Honoring both the poet and the worth of the written word)

Felicity Wellread/Redwell (As reading a good book is certain bring about some happiness)
