A workplace comedy, "Shelved" follows the staff and patrons in the underfunded Jameson branch of the Metropolitan Public Library as they deal with the community and each other's eccentricities. Wendy Yarmouth, the branch head, is constantly aiming to provide services for the community despite bureaucracy, underfunding, and a lack of resources. Alongside her eclectic staff, including junior librarian Jacqueline "Jaq" Bedard, librarian Howard Tutt and senior librarian and assistant branch head Bryce deLaurel, who all have differing opinions on their library, Wendy finds a way to give to her community and create a "found family."
