Is what you're really after is an environment pre-loaded with useful tools
for various types of librarians? If so, maybe instead of rolling your own
distro (and all the work and headache that involves, like a second
full-time job) maybe create software bundles for linux? Have a website
where you have lists of software by librarian type. Then make it easy for
linux users to install them (repo's and what not) ((I haven't been active
in linux for a while))

Just thinking out loud.
