Biblio, the Great Library Genie

Biblio is a mysterious genie, that can answer any wish... as long as it is library related. However, there are drawbacks to the wishes, as the Library Gods could not afford an all powerful genie. Some wishes Biblio have received are erasing student loans away, a map of the missing library books, and even turning your least favorite coworker, into a taco. Biblio is not easy to find, as he can only be found by exploring the stacks of the library.
