The Toronto Public Library loaned the production 21,000 books (on 16 pallets) that were out of circulation to use as set dressing, plus they received donations from various publishers.

Lyndie Greenwood (Wendy) was planning on taking a break from acting when she got the script for the show. She'd always wanted to do comedy but had never gotten the opportunity, she connected with the character (remarking that Wendy exudes her warmth "amped up to 11"), and she loved that the show was so thoroughly Canadian.

Several librarians were brought in to ensure the set was accurate, and one spent the day instructing the cast on the nuances of their jobs.

Wendy is obsessed with the Muppets. Creator Anthony Q. Farrell is a huge fan, referring to Kermit as "the ultimate showrunner," and Lyndie Greenwood said it was a weird synchronicity since her first ringtone was the theme song for The Muppet Show (1976).

The set is modeled after the old layout of the Parkdale Library in Toronto.
