Findley, Timothy. Headhunter (New York: Crown, 1993) 440 p.

Lilah Kemp was once Chief Librarian at Rosedale Public Library. The library burned to the ground and Lilah developed severe schizophrenia. Now she lives in Toronto where she pushes an empty baby buggy and visits the Metro Library nearly every day. Lilah has the power to let characters escape from their books into the real world. We are introduced briefly to Myra Cherniak, who works at the Information Desk at the Metro Library (p. 353-54).
