Guide to participating

• Introducing yourself at a party is scary• Spend time helping teens post their first book

review, their first blog comment• By the second “participation” they’ll either be

hooked or need guiding to a different platform

The more teens talk about books with their peers, the more books they will want to take off your

shelves.

Feed the addiction

Community karma

• Enable them to connect about books, and they will want more and more and more and more…

• You will not be losing your audience. You will only be strengthening the bond.
