President Obama Talks Books and Reading With Indie Bookstores [3]
- By Emily Behnke [4]
Just in time for Independent Bookstore Day, President Barack Obama has released six videos in support of books, reading, and independent bookstores.
In six separate videos, President Obama spoke with:
- Bradley Graham of Politics & Prose [5] in Washington, D.C.
- Hilary Gustafson of Literati Bookstore [6] in Ann Arbor, Michigan
- James Fugate and Tom Hamilton of Eso Won Books [7] in Los Angeles, California
- Karen Hayes of Parnassus Books [8] in Nashville, Tennessee
- Noëlle Santos of The Lit. Bar [9] in the Bronx, New York
- Richard Howorth of Square Books [10] in Oxford, Mississippi
The videos can be found on each individual store’s social media platforms. Booksellers who would like to join in on the fun and re-post can use these tags: #IndieBookstoreDay #APromisedLand @barackobama @crownpublishing
Crown has also created four quote cards booksellers can post to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, or other platforms. Marketing assets to promote the conversations can be found on BookWeb.org [11].
