Merlin (Welsh: Myrddin) is a legendary figure best known as an enchanter or wizard[note 1] featured in Arthurian legend and medieval Welsh poetry. The standard depiction of the character first appears in Geoffrey of Monmouth’s Historia Regum Britanniae, written c. 1136, and is based on an amalgamation of previous historical and legendary figures. Geoffrey combined existing stories of Myrddin Wyllt (or Merlinus Caledonensis), a North Brythonic prophet and madman with no connection to King Arthur, with tales of the Romano-British war leader Ambrosius Aurelianus to form the composite figure he called Merlin Ambrosius (Welsh: Myrddin Emrys). With thanx to Wikipedia.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merlin
In my fiction he is also other personages like Solomon and that he is alive today under another alias.
Merlin the Meddler is bound to fail, at least in this Timeline, where the Past is already fixed. The best he can hope for Is a Heinlein Alternate Timeline….
The sad fact is that like many public services funded by taxpayer dollars, the Library was doomed long before the fire. Budget cuts had reduced the staff to bare bones and folks had already stolen a fair number of their favorite documents. So Merlin was wise to steal the books, and we know he succeeded because he used them to create the internet, the modern repository of all knowledge.

And . . . there were some fairly determined people who were kind of intent on setting the fire! (They might object to prevention attempts.)

I have this vision in my head from Disney’s “Sword in the stone” of all the books (scrolls) disappearing into a small bag.

He’ll find the Librarian of Unseen University beating him to it, too. “Ook.”

he probably accidently STARTED the fire when getting the books.

No worries. The Illuminati already have all that.
