10 Bookish Instagram Accounts You Should Be Following

It’s safe to say social media has become a big part of our daily routine in the past few months. These platforms have helped keep us connected with each other in beautifully, creative way.  One of our favorite social platforms, Instagram, allows for over a billion users all around the world to share photos and videos. This October, Instagram will be celebrating it’s 10 year launch, so in recognition of this achievement I’ve gathered 10 bookish-themed Instagram accounts for the book lover in all of us.

Ok, I admit part of why I chose this account is because of the food, but that’s what makes it so unique to all the others! This librarian takes books and pairs them with all sorts of foods ranging from savory to sweet and everything in between. She has guests from everywhere in the country help her in highlighting their favorite eats and reads.

This account takes books to a whole new level. Elizabeth is a force of creation when it comes to making book art and her pictures are proof. References on popular books are the inspirational drive in her images. She also co-manages a bookstagram account (@mybookfeatures) where you can submit your own literature inspired photography.

James is the other co-founder of @mybookfeatures and is a marvel on his own. You can find some of your favorite books and stories themed into his images, which sometimes feature Elizabeth. Their artistic way of bringing books to life is one of the reasons you should follow their accounts.

Yeah, that’s right. The library’s Instagram account made this list, and why not? If you haven’t been following us, you’ve been missing out on some great content, like our weekly These Three Things segment which highlights the top three things happening at the library you should know. We also share virtual reads and fun templates in our InstaStory you can use to post on your own accounts. Are you following us yet?
