Ingenium celebrates Library Shelfie Day!
Happy Library Shelfie Day!
Founded in 2014 by the New York Public Library, Shelfie Day is celebrated on the fourth Wednesday of January each year. It’s a day for bibliophiles to pose and promote the things they love on social media, along with the hashtag: #LibraryShelfie!
Below you’ll find some “shelfies” from our proud, library-loving Ingenium staff. These shelfies also serve as their reading recommendations — so be sure to come to our libraries to take a closer look at what’s on the shelves. Tune in to our Twitter and Facebook accounts today — we have the feeling that more staff will catch the shelfie fever and join in! Why not join the fun and share your own recommendations with us?
