You mean bibliophile. A bibliomaniac has a recognized mental disorder closely associated with hoarding. Though HPB claims to have coined the term in the 70s, it's a condition that's been recognized for a hundred years. It surprises me that HPB would want any of their employees to be known as "maniacs" of any kind. I realize that words ending with"-phile" may have a certain stigma attached, but a simple Google search might be worth it in the future before committing to an advertising campaign.
