Australia Gets Ready for a New TV Show: The Librarians

From the ABC (Australian Broadcasting Company):

The humble suburban library takes on a whole new meaning in the ABC TV’s new comedy-drama The Librarians, which starts production in Melbourne on March 5.

A co-production between ABC TV and Gristmill Pty Ltd, The Librarians is the brainchild of actors/writers Robyn Butler and Wayne Hope. Married in real life, Butler and Hope will also star in the production.

The six-part series centres on the trials and tribulations of Frances O’Brien, a devout Catholic and head librarian. 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.
