A librarian is a villager that trades enchanted books, glass, bookshelves and candles. Librarians wear a red book as a hat, glasses, and a white robe.
An unemployed villager turns into a librarian when an unclaimed lectern is nearby.
The workstation of librarians, or the lectern, generates in libraries in villages.
In Java Edition, a librarian can drop a book by throwing it as a gift towards a nearby player with the Hero of the Village effect.
If the Villager Trade Rebalance experiment is turned on, librarians offer specific enchanted books depending on which biome they come from. Enchantments for the Novice, Apprentice, and Journeyman book trades are randomly selected from the "Common" pool, with a randomized level. At Master level, librarians are guaranteed to sell an enchanted book with a specific enchantment in addition to their normal trades.
