But then I've thought about the surname being something the IOL gives their Librarians once they join up (Every Librarian who's ever works at the MPL has a surname that related to the job: Delbert Wordsmith, Ms. Worden, Steven Books, Len Bookmaker. There was one that that bucks the trend: Todd. But he might have served before surnames were the case with IOL members).

We've certainly heard of Bookman as a surname back at least three hundred years.
