I’ve been offered several versions, but the two I like the best are:

1) “Isle of Aisles”—making us Aisleans?
2) “Land of Librios”—making us … ?

So what are we? How shall I refer to my … compatriots … and the place in which I spend my hours? Bonus points for using relevant word roots, goofy rhyme schemes, or literary in-jokes.

I would lean towards the former and avoiding word roots, mainly because people can put two and two together, especially your co-workers. :)
