The twitter/themed reading group is called Read watch play. Please promote the blog directly to your community. Ideas for how you can do this at your library will be added to this page.

Here are the links to both our presentation and the full paper for the Twitter Reading Group, Best Practice for Library Programming Collaboration.

Really easy ways to promote this reading group to your community
If your library has a twitter account you can set up tweets for the rest of the year to promote this. Using a tool like Hootsuite you can write tweets and then select the time when the tweet goes live.

For each month use the relevent link from the themes page, use some catchy wording to tell the twitter followers of your library about the theme for the month, include the link to the description for each month (from the themes page), add the hashtag for the discussion #rwpchat, and the tag for the month as well (available from each of the month theme pages). You can set all of this up for the rest of the year, today.

For example the tweet for the first of the month could be something like "the theme for the twitter reading group this month is #[insert relevant hashtage here] #rwpchat [include link to relevant month http://readwatchplay.wordpress.com/monthly-themes/]"

An example tweet for the last Tuesday of the month could be "join us tonight to discuss your #[insert relevant hashtage here] #rwpchat [include link to relevant month http://readwatchplay.wordpress.com/monthly-themes/]"
Using your library twitter account, follow the @readwatchplay twitter account.

You can use Hootsuite to preset Facebook posts using the themes in the same way you can preset tweets. You could set up the tweets and facebook posts for the rest of the year in less than 30 minutes.

If your library has a blog you can use the information from the theme pages to write your own posts.

If your library has a Pinterest page, you can follow the Readwatchplay pinterest account, and promote it you your community.
