A calendar grid zoomed in on the 28th, which says "National Shelfie Day - Library Shelfie Day celebrates books and libraries! A day for those who love literature..." with the word TODAY written in red. There is also a sticky note pinned to the calendar that says "Do you know who loves literature? Our librarians! Take a look at their shelves!"

📚✨ It’s National Shelfie Day! ✨📚

Our librarians are showing off their shelves — from comic books and zines to puzzles and PLENTY of books. 🧶to follow!

Every shelf tells a story! Do you spot any of your favorites on these shelves? 👀💭

Four bookmarks, three with the fronts showing and one with the back showing. The fronts feature tarot-inspired genre designs for The Romantic, The Filmster, and The Haunted. Each scene shows the college mascot, Chippy the Cardinal, in a thematic illustration. The backs have a grid where book titles and ratings can be logged.

Ahhh, I'm so excited for these bookmarks! Last semester I worked with students in the North Central College Design Agency class and they designed these for @oesterlelib (where I'm a librarian). Sky, Meredith, and Paulina were lovely to work with 💙 I've printed 1/3 of the designs, more to come later!

A TTRPG book lying flat on a desk mat. The book is Down We Go, and has a skull on the cover.

Another game arrival from an @alagamert.bsky.social International Games Month sponsor! @oesterlelib.bsky.social received a copy of Down We Go, a TTRPG from @plusoneexp.bsky.social! It'll be processed for the collection soon!

A stack of board games, including: Tapple, Flip7, Tacta, Hues and Cues, Blank Slate, and Telestrations

Thank you to The Op Games for sending some games for our @oesterlelib.bsky.social library collection as part of @alagamert.bsky.social International Games Month! Our tech services person has them in our processing queue and they'll be available for checkout soon!
