What is Library Shelfie Day?

On Library Shelfie Day, the fourth Wednesday in January provides a unique opportunity for book enthusiasts.

Some book collectors prefer to group their collections so that their spines can be enjoyed pleasantly. Others have a system of organisation that results in an alternative art form. However, our books are not designed on the shelf; they are supposed to be photographed and posted on social media, but not on social media.

Library Shelfies give book shops, libraries, schools, and individuals the opportunity to display their reading preferences through a single photograph. Readers often share a little of their library in innovative ways whether they frame their favorite authors, titles, genres, or cover art. Bibliophiles love books of all sorts, with or without dust jackets, signed and unsigned, dogeared, and in mint condition.
