Tales of a Librarian (complete title: A Tori Amos Collection: Tales of a Librarian) is the first greatest hits compilation album by singer/songwriter Tori Amos. Released in 2003 on her former label Atlantic Records, the album contains 20 tracks. Eighteen of the tracks are formerly released songs (two songs, previously B-sides, have been completely re-recorded; most others have been remastered to preserve the original vision Amos had when they were mixed by others for release). The other two are new songs, "Angels" and "Snow Cherries from France." The album contains a bonus DVD with three live music performances and a photo library.
