The Clues in the name…

Library Shelfie Day is an annual event celebrated on the fourth Wednesday of January. This year we celebrated on the 25th January: A day for book lovers to share their favourite books and library shelves with the world.

Readers were encouraged to take a selfie with their most beloved library shelf, showcasing the books that standout for them. Here at BGS we had students and staff sendin their most loved stores, to share with the community View a gallery of photos here.

Fun fact – The first considered selfie image was captured by amateur chemist and photography enthusiast, Robert Cornelius in 1839. Setting up his camera at the back of the family store in Philadelphia, Robert Cornelius took the image by removing the lens cap and then running into frame where he sat for a minute before covering up the lens again. On the back of the image he wrote "The first light Picture ever taken. 1839."
