Celebrate National Library Shelfie Day 2025

Let’s Celebrate Libraries!

National Library Shelfie Day occurs annually on the fourth Wednesday in January. It is a great opportunity for people to reflect on the books that have influenced their lives and inspire others to engage with reading and explore the wealth of resources available at libraries.

Founded in 2014 by the New York Public Library, this event encourages us to take and share selfies. The catch is that this isn’t just any selfie; it’s a “shelfie,” which is a picture of yourself in front of a bookshelf at the library! It is an invitation to showcase our love for reading and recognize the importance of libraries. This fun initiative promotes literacy and also highlights the unique experiences and memories created within library spaces.

Whether you’re visiting your local library or showcasing your home collection, participating in National Library Shelfie Day is a creative way to inspire others to celebrate reading and explore the wealth of resources available libraries.

Libraries are essential!!

Libraries are a safe space for community engagement, promoting literacy and support for lifelong learning. Libraries provide free access to a vast array of information resources, including books, journals, newspapers, and digital content, enabling individuals to acquire knowledge and stay informed. Libraries safeguard and preserve our stories for those who come after us.

“When I got my library card, that was when my life began.”

"…#museums and other #CulturalInstitutions, including some very, very big ones, to my eye they’re reluctant to use their #influence.

The #NewYorkPublicLibrary probably could be doing a lot more to support digital rights around #eBooks, for example. Or they could be releasing a lot of the books as eBooks and saying, we own the book, we can release it as an eBook. They don’t want to do that because they don’t want to antagonize the #publishers right now."

"Led by suffragist and public librarian Maud Malone, [the Library Employee's Union (LEU) of the New York Public Library] was the first of five American Federation of Labor affiliates to emerge at large east coast libraries. Though they disbanded by the end of the 1920s, the LEU instigated spirited debates about unionization across the field of American librarianship."

"Dieser Lesesaal war für mich ein magischer Ort, an dem ein vielstimmiges stummes Gespräch zwischen Menschen und Büchern stattfand, ein Denkraum."

Apparently it’s Photo Monday here. Looking back at pics I’ve saved reminds me I have this one of the original toys that A.A. Milne’s son Christopher had and which inspired his legendary stories of Pooh & friends. I shot this at NYPL when they were in their children’s room. I think they’ve been moved elsewhere now. #PhotoMonday #kidlit #WinnieThePooh #NewYorkPublicLibrary #AAMilne #libraries #Librarians #History #Archives #HalfAcreWood
