Libraries have some magic about them, don’t you think, dear Pandas? They’re more than just the sum of their parts. More than just places to get books. More than the books, the shelves, the delicious aroma of yellowed pages. It’s the librarians working there that help bring everything together into a wonderful place of learning, exploration, and adventure. They’re the custodians of our imaginations.

Hard-working and stern, fun and supportive, whatever character your school librarian had, they’re bound to have left a mark on your life. Well, now Twitter users are opening up about their most awesome librarian moments, inspired by high school librarian and book author Amy Milstead from Texas.

She shared an incredibly heart-warming letter she received from a student that got people talking about the positive impact that library staff have had in their own lives. Scroll down for some soul-healing posts.

Bored Panda reached out to Marianne Chala, the Director of The Willoughby Book Club, the UK's leading personalized book subscription service, to learn about the most important skills that bookshop and library staff should have, as well as the best approach to getting back into the habit of reading if you haven't touched a book in years. Read on for her insights.
