Have you heard of Litsy? It's like Instagram, but for books!
Here's a description from the app: "Litsy is a place to share and discover your favorite books with your favorite people. The Litsy community is a groundswell of passionate readers, authors, celebrities, and more. Share bookish moments with Quotes, Reviews, and Blurbs. Measure Litfluence to discover your “bookprint” in the world. Explore recommendations from readers, not algorithms. Oh yeah, want to organize your reading list? Our app has stacks for that, too." Kind of cool, right? We thought so! So we created an account for the library and you can follow us @pthslibrary. Litsy is available to download through the App store as well as Google Play. I love that it's a photo-sharing social media app, but specifically for books. What a great way to engage readers and for anyone interested in literature to post some of their favorite quotes, reviews, etc. I can't wait to follow some of our favorite YA authors and see what they're sharing!
