On September 10, ABC South Coast and Great Southern put a call out for locals to send in 'shelfies' - that is, a photo of themselves with their bookcase.
Besides a feline closeup she’s placed on one shelf, and an opera mask on another, her shelfie shows a wonderful collection of books about music, including “The Rough Guide to Opera,” several biographies of Mozart and the history “Women Making Music.”
Some practitioners have tried to position the shelfie as "the intellectual's selfie," making it seem like some digital form of 17th-century Dutch still-life painting.
Case in point, librarians are currently taking part in a social media campaign that, instead of “selfie” pictures of themselves at work, they are taking “shelfies.”
