Frances O’Brien, the woman who has turned the upward inflection into something of an art form, returns for a new season of The Librarians next month.
Joining her for Season Three are Heidi Arena, Stephen Ballantyne, Wayne Hope, Nicole Nabout, Lachy Hulme, Fiona Harris, Keith Brockett, Roz Hammond, Victoria Eagger and Angus Sampson.
Frances is devastated when she learns that her mother, Pearl (Victoria Eagger), suffering from both dementia and a really horrible personality, needs full time care. But to make matters worse, a government bureaucrat Xavier Fisher (Angus Sampson) rules that public libraries are to turn a profit or face closure.
With a million dollars to raise, Frances appoints Dawn (Heidi Arena) to head up the fundraising campaign. But getting the rest of the Middleton Interactive Learning Centre staff motivated isn’t easy. Matthew (Stephen Ballantyne) is pursuing a book deal; Nada (Nicole Nabout) is fighting off advances from her ex-husband Hasan (Lachy Hulme), Neil has a new girlfriend Jane (Fiona Harris), and Ky (Keith Brockett) is busy planning his wedding day.
On the home front, Terry (Wayne Hope) tells Frances he’s reforming his 80s tribute band Oils Ain’t Oils. If that’s not enough to send Frances over the edge, she learns that her detestable mum Pearl (Victoria Eagger) has run up an unimaginable debt and ends up on the O’Brien’s doorstep.
It premieres 8:30pm Wednesday October 13th on ABC1.

Thanks @Trix
Oh, thanks @Biffo.
My Library uses a barcode reader, without the beeping.
@Aimee Eddie, if you had ever been to a library you would recognise that beep as the sound the scanner makes when you check out a book.
Great news! Only way to top this would be to hear Very Small Business got a second season!
Damn it’s on the same time as Family Guy on 7mate.
I’ve been loving the extended, behind-the-scenes promos airing for the last couple of weeks. Very funny.
@Abe, the beeping is an interstitial sound effect used throughout the program to segue from one scene to another. It’s the sound the book scanner equipment makes when people are checking books out of the library.
I love “The Librarians”.
I can’t wait for the new series to start.
What’s with the beeping?
That annoying beeping has put me off!
Yes Roz Hammond too, oops. Have added her name.
Can’t wait.
Greatest Australian comedy since Kath and Kim! This is great. A bonus two episodes this season as well. Can’t wait!!
Love this show too!!!! What about Christine (Roz Hammond)?
I Love this show. I’ve just finished rewatching series 1 and 2 so this is timely. I miss the gang! I hope this show will last a couple more years!
