eries overview

The series follows the adventures of Rex Libris, the Head Librarian at the Middleton Public Library. Unbeknownst to the general public, Rex is actually over a thousand years old, and was the original librarian at the Library of Alexandria. He is a member of the the Ordo Bibliotecha, an international secret society of librarians. With the aid of the ancient god Thoth, who lives beneath the Library, Rex travels to the fartherest reaches of the universe to collect late book fees, and to fight the powers of ignorance and darkness.
