This is a list of TV series and episodes, foreign and domestic, that feature librarians (from bit roles to main characters). Arranged alphabetically by series title.
I have collected these titles from various sources (books, web sites, articles). Although I have narrowed my focus right now to English-language films, I have received lots of questions about librarians on TV shows (yep, that’s you, Buffy fans!). TV miniseries and TV movies are included in the Master List.
