National Library Shelfie Day!

By

Yesterday was National Library Shelfie Day! This fun holiday was created by the New York Public Library in 2014 and has continued ever year since, on the 4th Wednesday in January. What is Library Shelfie Day? Library Shelfie day is a day to take a selfie in front of your favorite library shelf and share it on social media with the hashtag #LibraryShelfieDay. This can either be a shelf at your public library, your own personal home library, or a favorite book store. This is a way to celebrate the importance of libraries in the community and share your love of books!

Ways to celebrate National Shelfie Day:

1.) Take a selfie in front of your favorite bookshelf at the Provo Library and share it on social media with the hashtag #LibraryShelfieDay & #ProvoLibrary.

2.) Come to the Provo Library and check out some books or renew your library card if it has been a while.

3.) Reorganize your own personal home library and get reacquainted with the books you own.

4.) Visit a local book store and browse the shelves to find a new book to add to your collection.

5.) Share a picture of some of your favorite books and tell why you love them.

Below are a few pictures of some of our librarians celebrating National Shelfie Day this year at the Provo Library!
