It was only a matter a time before public libraries figured out how establish their presence on social media. Enter bookface, which involves lining up your face or body with a book cover that has a matching body part and taking a photo. Libraries and readers have started to upload these photos to Instagram with hashtags like #bookface and #bookfaceFriday.
This potential trending topic has the opportunity to give libraries some social media shine – **and the pictures are funny as hell, too.**. Having some #bookface fun with #thebeast & #johncleese. #andsoanyway A photo posted by Lida Piompino (@lidapiompino) on May 3, 2015 at 1:42pm PDT.
