Īt some point, the Headmaster, Albus Dumbledore, visited the library with the goal of publishing Quidditch Through the Ages for Muggles to raise money. Pince cleaned the dust on the shelves of the library manually, with a feather duster she brandished at students whenever they looked suspicious. She was also known to place odd jinxes and hexes on library books for their protection for instance, one copy of Theories of Transubstantial Transfiguration, on top of the usual library book spells, was jinxed to hit the reader around the head, should he ever doodle on it. An example of her strictness was the fact that she would not allow food in the library, for fear that the books would be damaged, and also disallowed talking, laughing, whispering, sneezing, scurrying, or any other behaviour that might seem at all suspicious in any way. She was greatly disliked by the students for being very strict and unhelpful in finding books for them.

She likely attended Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry and proceeded with her studies into the magic arts likely until at least her sixth year, since she could perform intricate non-verbal magic, was able to place powerful and unpleasant jinxes and hexes on objects and could effectively remove a curse from a student by administering the correct counter-curse. Irma Pince was born a witch sometime in or prior to 1974 and presumably purchased her wand prior to attending school.
