Because the sage Librarian confronts difficulties, She never experiences them. Deal with things before they happen. Set your library in order before there is confusion. The sage Librarian does not compete and so receives funding. She does not grab for power and therefore grows strong.
Programs usually fail when they are on the verge of success.
Therefore the sage Librarian seeks freedom from contention. She does not collect rare books. She does not hold onto old ideas or technology. She brings the community back to what they have lost. A reader for every book and a book for every reader.
