Get creative with different National Library Shelfie Day ideas, or start out with some of these:

Head Out to the Library

You can participate in this event whether you use social media or not! The day encourages library users to explore their local facilities by reading magazines and checking out books from the shelves.

Libraries offer users complete access to borrow items that cost nothing yet require only a return visit. Very few people can access such benefits in their life.

Take a Selfie with the Bookshelf and Post a Shelfie

Users who post online content can support public libraries by enjoying library visits and making their experiences available to the world through popular social platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok and more.

The process lets people discover how great the library is and encourages those who skipped it to come back. 

Support the Local Library

True readers can stop by their local library or look at its online presence to learn about support options.

During National Library Shelfie Day you can promote volunteering services at libraries and encourage book donations by asking more people to support these causes.

History of National Library Shelfie Day

The New York Public Library created National Library Shelfie Day in 2014 to inspire global citizens to document and distribute library selfies of themselves. The event requires you to photograph yourself standing next to library shelves on this special date.

 We aim to promote local library access to hundreds of books for all ages while encouraging people to develop their love of learning and reading.

Final Words

Apart from books, libraries often supply their users with access to computers plus media content including films, publications, audio discs, and game consoles. Specific branches of libraries provide users access to personal and industrial craft materials including sewing machines laminators and crafting utilities.

National Library Shelfie Day brings people together to read books and support their community libraries.
