Sarah Gailey's dystopian novella, Upright Women Wanted is basically just “be gay, do crimes, take no shit” but in book format. It's queer. It's Western. It's badass Librarian representation. What more could you want?
I'm also going to carry this quote everywhere I go now as a librarian who uses she/they pronouns: “I’m they on the road and she in town. You can take time getting used to they on the road, but if you forget about she when we’re in town, you’ll have to learn how to think around a bullet.”
