If you were a womble, what would you like to find and how would you make use of it? I read this in the style of “If I Were A Rich Man” from Fiddler on the Roof so all I can think of now is “Ya ba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dibba dum”. To answer “seriously”, I would find books and magazines and make use of them by offering them to people to read… I think I want to be a womble librarian.
