Siobhán Greaney (Shivers)@DiscworldMonthly Slightly controversial I know, there are so many great “oook” moments, but “ook” will always hold a special place in my heart.
Did you know one of the first things student Librarians have to learn is the Order Of Knowledge?
SANEAlexMine is:-
“The three rules of the Librarians of Time and Space are: 1) Silence; 2) Books must be returned no later than the last date shown; and 3) Do not interfere with the nature of causality.” ― Terry Pratchett, Guards! Guards!
Which is a lot of info to get into a single Ook!!!!

There’s a line in Unseen Academicals that always has me in bits laughing.
“Ook.”
Classic.
Queen Ynci@Queen_Ynci @DiscworldMonthly brilliant Ook.
Geof Hughes 🖤@rossdouglas I love the question: Ook? Ook? Seldom gets a proper answer but a valid question nonetheless.
@BogLoper there’s only one proper answer to that.
“Ook!”
@rossdouglas Ah. I thought so. Always suspected that was it. Ook.
Jay of the Iceni@rossdouglas @DiscworldMonthly gotta love the librarian. Oh, for the feel of the soft leather hand.

Nothing can beat "Ook" of course, bit another favourite of mine is
"The Librarian was not familiar with love, which had always struck him as a bit ethereal and soppy, but kindness, on the other hand, was practical. You knew where you were with kindness, especially if you were holding a pie it had just given you"

Nathan deGargoyle 🇮🇲🏴@DiscworldMonthly While all these quotes are great nothing captures the plangency of his utterances like the moment he is discovered to have stowed away on the Kite and he utters the immortal line, "Ook?". Oh, the humanity!

Jinshei@DiscworldMonthly The Librarian was, of course, very much in favor of reading in general, but readers in particular got on his nerves. There was something, well, sacrilegious about the way they kept taking books off the shelves and wearing out the words by reading them. He liked people who loved and respected books, and the best way to do that, in the Librarian’s opinion, was to leave them on the shelves where Nature intended them to be.
Obviously ook is another great one!
