Read It 2011

In 2011 public libraries in NSW will be participating in a twitter reading challenge. This is open to all public library staff and library customers. It is called #readit2011 and every month there will be a different theme to chose your books from.
Then as you read each month you are encouraged to "tweet" about what you are reading so that others can see and discuss it with you. Each month there will be a different hashtag which allows all the tweets to be grouped together to make them easier to find. Even if you don't want to tweet you can read what everyone else is saying.
A website has been set up that contains all the links you need to participate in this challenge and you can click here to get there.
