Yes, but any librarian you might ask for the directory, is going to ask you what you are looking for.
Not if im crippled with social phobias, or dont want to bother a busy person at their desk. Also, the librarian at our school 30 years ago was an evil bitch which made me swear off reading books altogether.
You're probably not telling the total truth, but maybe consider that one person being unpleasant 30 years ago isn't a good reason to abandon an entire form of media for your entire life. Let it go. The librarian is probably dead by now, and they don't have to matter to you anymore.
The librarian at your school 30 years ago probably also taught you about the card catalogue and the Dewey Decimal System.
Every library I've been to in the past decade has had computers everywhere that can search their catalog, and even check out books & media yourself. My library also has a 3D printing and craft room, an esports room, and lots of accessibility tools and conveniences for both mental and physical needs.
Wait ... You don't read books?
Sounds like a cartoon villain origin story. The Bibliophobe!
