"All the world's a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances;
​and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages."

The Librarians is an Australian television comedy series which premiered on 31 October 2007 on ABC TV.

The series is produced and written by Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope who are also the principal cast members. Hope is also the series' director. The first series comprised six half-hour episodes. The second series with another six episodes began airing on 5 August 2009 and a third series was released in 2010.

The series centres on the trials and tribulations of Frances O'Brien, a neurotic Head Librarian of the Middleton Interactive Learning Centre (Public Library). Her life unravels when she is forced to employ her ex-best friend, Christine Grimwood – now a drug dealer – as the Children's Librarian. Frances must do all she can to contain her menacing past and concentrate on the biggest event of the library calendar – Book Week.

The show was popular in Australia and absolutely hilarious!  I watched it when it originally aired on the ABC and have since watched it through again on streaming.  As a librarian myself, it made the show even funnier for me.  

When this bookmark came in a pile of bookmarks donated to me, I was very happy to find it among them!  A bookmark of one of my favourite shows ever definitely brought a smile to my face.
