My colleagues and I at NYPL invite you to join a social media
movement to highlight the power of reading and readers as we start the new
year. Reading builds knowledge, understanding and empathy across the
spectrum of readers.
We want to join with as many libraries and similar organizations (including adult literacy groups)
as possible across the country and beyond to inspire readers everywhere to
share the books they're currently reading with others using the
hashtag #ReadersUnite.
We are working our various channels to help this go viral.
If you want to participate:
Starting January 3, 2017, please ask your social media followers to post the book they're
reading to Facebook, Twitter, and their other social media platforms. Please
encourage them to use the hashtag #ReadersUnite in your posts. Selected posts
will be shared by NYPL and we encourage you to do the same.
Sample #ReadersUnite posts:
Tell
us what you're reading and include hashtag #ReadersUnite in your posts!
Show
us what you're reading this January and include hashtag #ReadersUnite in your
posts!
Share
a pic of your current book with other readers across the country - use hashtag
#ReadersUnite!
