Bringing book covers to life scores volumes on social media via #BookfaceFridays<\/a> on the
\nSanta Barbara Public Library<\/strong><\/a> Instagram account (@sbplibrary). A popular meme in the
\nbook-loving community for quite some time, Bookface photos\u2014images in which a person
\nis strategically lined up with a book cover so that life and art appear to meld\u2014are a great
\nway to showcase literature from the library\u2019s collections, according to library marketing
\nspecialist Erick Mendez.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe get a lot of positive feedback and a lot of reposts,\u201d says Mendez. \u201cIt\u2019s great to see the
\ncommunity of books and libraries sharing and getting inspiration from one another. It\u2019s
\nnever about competing to see who can do the best one, it\u2019s always about showcasing books\u00a0we love and finding a way to promote literature<\/a> through covers.\u201d<\/p>\n
