First My Book Selfie Winners AnnouncedReaders Create Facebook Book Lovers' Community
April 15, 2015 (Harlem, New York) – The Harlem Book Fair (harlembookfair.com) has launched an innovative literacy-awareness initiative, My Book Selfie,
that rewards readers who share their love of books. Using social media,
the Harlem Book Fair is offering weekly rewards and prizes for readers
who post a picture of themselves showing their favorite book or current
read.
The
goal of the ongoing program is to create an online presence where
readers are acknowledged for creating and being part of a vibrant
nation-wide reading community. The best book selfie will be selected
from submitted photos on a weekly basis by the staff of QBR/The Black Book Review (www.qbr.com)
and the Harlem Book Fair. Selected readers will be notified by email.
No additional participation is required to be selected; simply take a
picture with a favorite book and post it online at facebook.com/mybookselfie.
"There is a perception that we, as an often underserved community, have little relationship to reading as a way of life," says Max Rodriguez,
founder of the Harlem Book Fair. "They often forget that reading has
long served as the means by which we have changed the course of our
American experience. We have long been a nation of readers. I expect
that children to grandma’s will post their favorite books. My Book
Selfie will acknowledge us as a lifelong reading community that values
entertaining stories, access to information, and the fun of reading." View all pictures, join the community and win a book.
My Book Selfie (facebook.com/mybookselfie) is open to all readers with valid email addresses, new or existing registrants of QBR.com, or readers who are Facebook “fans”/“followers” of QBR.com and the Harlem Book Fair (www.harlembookfair.com). ;
