A
Mysterious Librarian Is The Breakout Star Of Netflix’s “ Hilda “
 |
Two
years ago, the animated series Hilda premiered on Netflix, and a
minor character called “The
Librarian” (voiced by Kaisa Hammurlund) quickly became a fan sensation. =Although
she only appears in about three minutes of the show’s first season, this feisty
librarian has been mentioned in 20 fanfiction stories on Archive of Our
Own and has a Tumblr blog dedicated to her. She has also been a subject of a lot of
chatter among the fanbase, from Twitter to Reddit. The official Hilda Twitter
account has
described her as a mysterious librarian who has an unmatched, and
extensive, “knowledge of cemetery records and mystical items.” Overall, this
character is among the most positive pop culture depictions of librarians,
along with fellow animated shows Cleopatra
in Space and She-Ra and the Princesses of Power.
During
the show’s first season, the characters spend only nine minutes at the
Trolberg public
library, but those scenes make a strong impression. In the show’s sixth
episode, protagonists Hilda, David, and Frida travel to the library,
searching for information to cure David’s awful nightmares. Before they can
think of the right text, the librarian drops a book on a nearby table, telling
them they will find it of interest, and slides away on a
rolling ladder across the stacks. Once the group starts reading, they
realize the book indeed contains the information they need. When Frida
expresses her confusion with the librarian’s prescient actions, David tells her
that it is her job to find what they need.
In the next episode, the protagonists journey to the library to learn about dragons. READ MORE ➤➤
