Poetry Challenge #176-Hooray! Library Shelfie Day

Every fourth Wednesday in January, bookies, biblophiles, readers, library nerds, like us—OK us—celebrate Library Shelfie Day. They (we) take a picture of themselves (ourselves)—a selfie—in front of a shelf of books—making it a shelfie.

Pictures are taken at the library, bookstore, school, or home—anywhere there is a shelf of books—and posted to social media #LibraryShelfieDay #ShelfieDay #Shelfie. Check out this collection of NYPL Favorites & Shee for your shelf!

When it comes to celebrating, they stop a snapping shelfies but, that’s not how we click:

Poetry Challenge #176

Library Shelfie Day

In honor of Library Shelfie Day, this week’s prompt is to write a spine poem. Find books on your shelves and arrange them so that when you read the spines, each book creates a line in the poem. See if you can include at least 5 books.

Here’s Mine writing Shelfie

Set Your Timer for 7 Minutes

Spines Out! Start Writing

Don’t Think Too Much About it; Just do it!
