He is known for his violent reaction to most people calling him a "[[monkey]]", as he is technically an [[ape]]. He primarily uses the word ''Ook'', inflected for simple affirmations and negations, though he occasionally uses ''Eeek'' in moments of panic or rage.

As with other members of the UU faculty, the Librarian is referred to by his office and not by a name. There are rumours that, pre-transformation, he was named Dr. Horace Worblehat, though no one speaks about it.<ref name="'Librarian' in 'Discworld A - Z', Turtle Recall" />

The Librarian is a member of the Librarians of Time And Space, a group who have the knowledge and ability to travel through L-Space, an [[Parallel universe (fiction)|extradimensional]] space that connects all libraries and other large accumulations of books.<ref name="OUP"/>

The Librarian appears in orangutan form in the video games [[Discworld (video game)|''Discworld'']] and ''[[Discworld II]]''. In [[Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic|the 2008 TV adaptation]] of ''The Colour of Magic'' and ''The Light Fantastic'' by [[Sky One]], he appears in both human and orang-utan form. His human form is played by Nicolas Tennant,<ref name="Color Of Magic cast">{{cite web |title=The Color Of Magic (TV Mini-Series) |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt1079959/fullcredits?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm |website=IMDB |access-date=30 April 2024 |ref=IMDBmagic}}</ref> who had previously played [[Nobby Nobbs|Corporal Nobbs]] in ''[[Terry Pratchett's Hogfather]]''.<ref name="Hogfather (2006)" />
