Unshelved

Set in a public library and running for over a decade, Unshelved (2003–2017, Overdue Media) is a long-running webcomic-turned-print series that chronicles the daily absurdities and quiet joys of librarians and their patrons. Primarily written by Gene Ambaum and Bill Barnes, with art by Barnes, Meredith Gran, and Dave Kellett, the strip earned a devoted following for its sharp, affectionate humor about library life. Its twelve-issue print run captures the era's shift toward digital comics while celebrating the enduring, often overlooked role of libraries in the community.
