Comics
Unshelved, online comic by Bill Barnes and Gene Ambaum (previously known as Overdue), also available in book form.
Shelf Check, online-only comic by Emily Lloyd. My favorite. So funny and subversive.
Late addition: there’s also James Turner’s Rex Libris series. Rex Libris, a former Egyptian god, is the Head Librarian at the Middleton Public Library.
