Library lover? We’ve got a show for you, and the story behind it is quite cool. 📚@lyndiegreenwood often walked past the Parkdale Public Library on her way to Parts and Labour, where she worked as a server alongside @mattymatheson during the wild and early years of the now shuttered restaurant. Never in a million years did she think that she’d return to the neighbourhood, a decade later, to star in a sitcom about the Parkdale library. “I received the material for SHELVED and I was floored. It was the perfect thing: funny, heartfelt and it spoke so deeply to me as someone who was born and raised in Toronto.”
.
.
📚📚📚The series is a love letter to the public library system, and takes inspiration from the #torontopubliclibrary specifically the Parkdale Branch, which has been renamed in the show to Jameson Branch. It’s no wonder why they chose Toronto, we are home to one of the world’s largest and most respected public libraries. On any given day, approximately 100,000 people use the Toronto Public Library, with 87, 606 books and items borrowed daily.
.
.
📚📚📚 The series honours the myriad of ways that a library is used in a day; it also provides lots of laughs through the exaggerated workplace characters and cringey interactions that take place between the stacks. The style of humour is to be expected from creator and executive producer @aqfarrell, who cut his teeth as a writer for THE OFFICE.

“More important than what you say is the fact th

“More important than what you say is the fact that you care enough to say something—or to be willing to sit with that person in compassionate silence. Being willing to witness and honour the pain of someone’s grief can be an incredible gift to that person. As one person shared, “It wasn’t what people said but what they did that meant the most to me: sitting in awkward silence as I processed my loss; giving me time to find the words and speak; not judging while I cried.” ❤️❤️❤️
