Showcase your love of literature on Library Shelfie Day with a snapshot of your overflowing bookshelves and your favorite reads!
Book lovers, rejoice! Library Shelfie Day is here on January 24, a day to celebrate our book-filled spaces and share them with the world. Established in 2014 by the New York Public Library, Library Shelfie Day was created to encourage book lovers around the globe to share pictures of their personal libraries - a 'Shelfie' so to speak, showcasing everyone's unique reading tastes and the beautiful, imaginative worlds that hide within those pages. So, whether you have a towering bookshelf, a cozy reading nook or a virtual library, get ready to snap, share, and savor the literary love!
In preparation for Library Shelfie Day, get creative and decorate your bookshelf. You might add lights, bookmarks, or even rearrange your books by color. This will create a visually appealing shelfie for others to admire.
Gather your bookclub together on Library Shelfie Day to discuss your favorite reads. Have everyone bring a copy of their favorite book to hold in the group shelfie photo!
If you’re more of a digital reader, you can still participate in Library Shelfie Day! Screenshot your e-reader's library and share it on social media. Don't forget to use the dedicated hashtags to join the online celebrations.
What better way to spend Library Shelfie Day than at the library itself? Visit your local library, take a shelfie in front of your favorite section, and show some love to these important community centers.
Organize a book swap among your friends or neighborhood. This is not only a fun way to celebrate Library Shelfie Day but also a great opportunity to discover new reads and share your favorites.
Library Shelfie Day embraces our adoration of literature. It gives us an opportunity to show off our favorite books, the ones that have transformed our world view and opened our eyes to new ideas, places, and people. It's a day to celebrate our learning journey through reading.
It brings together an online community of book lovers. By sharing our 'shelfies', we not only get to peek at other's collections but also discover other readers with similar tastes and even get some book recommendations!
Finally, Library Shelfie Day reminds us to appreciate the vital role of libraries as champion of wisdom, knowledge, and community growth. It pushes us to support these critical institutions that continue to help build a well-informed and educated society.
