Nick's Picks May 2019

May 2019 Edition


Reading Promotion Widgets!

Newly updated: Fantastic widgets that promote reading on your webpages can now seamlessly connect your community with books and authors each day.

The Literary Calendar, searchable by day, week, and month, is a playful source for everyone to consider author birthdays, commemorative weeks, and celebratory months with relevant book recommendations and activities.

And if your community would enjoy interacting with two book recommendations that are refreshed each day, the Today on TeachingBooks widget might be just what your website or blog would love to feature.

These widgets are freely available for you to post and use anywhere you wish. Please ask if we can be of any assistance. Enjoy.
