The Sixth Annual #LibraryShelfie Day by Colleen Gibson, Social Media AssociateJanuary 23, 2019

Every year on the fourth Wednesday of January, libraries and book lovers across social media put a bookish spin on a selfie by taking photos with bookshelves and using the perfect hashtag—#LibraryShelfie! 

To celebrate library shelfies, we’re sharing photos we love from across The New York Public Library and the world! These are only a fraction of all of the great shelfies happening today—you can explore lots of other amazing photos on Instagram and Twitter!
