Medieval Help Desk, in Norwegian with English subtitles, from a Norwegian TV show written by Knut Nærum, 2001.  Not exactly a library shenanigan, but close enough. Along the same lines, a video in Spanish (without subtitles, 2010) and  a comic strip called “Progress” from Penny Arcade (2009). Thanks, Daryll Stevens and Jon Driscoll!
