Note: The opinions expressed herein are soley those of the author. Any resemblance to real librarians (living or dead, or somewhere in between) is probably a coincidence, but maybe not.

Biblia, the Warrior Librarian, was created by A.B.Credaro. The concept of Warrior Librarianship is in common practice, and therefore quite possibly in the public domain. As such, it is likely to be exempt from copyright restrictions. However, this does not limit Warrior Librarian Weekly, its agents, employees, heirs, or others connected with the zine, from trying to make an easy buck from its use.

Graphics on this site were created by Peter Lewis, unless otherwise stated. These graphics were created exclusively for Warrior Librarian Weekly, and may not be copied without consent, which will only be granted after an obscenely large amount of money has changed hands ... which really isn't likely to happen, is it?
