Giovanni Giacomo Casanova
Writer, soldier, spy, legendary seducer... Librarian (?).
The worlds most infamous lover spent his twilight years as Librarian to the Count Von Waldstein of Bohemia taking up the role in 1785 and remaining there until his death in 1798. It was while working as Librarian to the Count that Casanova wrote his memoirs (published in 1797) which documented his amorous escapades and sealed his reputation as an erotic adventurer and the least stereotypical librarian likely to appear in this weeks list.
