This is a list of TV series and episodes that feature librarians and/or archivists, from bit roles to main characters. Arranged alphabetically by series title.

I have collected these titles from various sources (books, web sites, articles, reader tips, etc.). Although I have narrowed my own blog’s focus to English-language films, I have received lots of questions about librarians on TV shows (yep, that’s you, Buffy fans!).

Note: TV movies and mini-series are included in the Master List.
