Every year, the fourth Wednesday of January is celebrated as Library Shelfie Day. Shelfie day was initiated by the New York Public Library in 2014 and it is an excellent opportunity to get a glimpse of shelves of books from all over the world.

This year’s shelfie day falls on 25th January and some of the libraries in the Maldives participated in the activity. The idea behind Library Shelfie Day is to take a selfie with a library shelf.

The following libraries participated in the event

  • Maafushi School Library
  • Ga. Maamendhoo School Library
  • Adh. Omadhoo School Library
  • Hithadhoo School Library
  • Lh. Atoll Education Centre Library
  • Parliament Library
  • Dhivehi Bahuge Academy Research Library
  • Aminiya School Library

Note. the pictures were shared by the School Librarians
