Noah Wyle stars as Flynn Carsen, an uber geek who has spent his life in the world of academia. When he's selected as the Librarian at the New York Metropolitan Library, he discovers that this is no quiet desk job.
Hidden beneath the monolithic library is a repository for humanity's greatest secrets. From the Ark of the Covenant to Excalibur, every enigma and artifact from every known and unknown civilization is protected from the forces of evil who, given the chance, would use the priceless treasures for their nefarious plans.
Only one man can keep them safe: The Librarian.
