Readathon Resources for Bookstores, Libraries, and Schools
Bookstores, libraries, and schools can host a “reading party” on Saturday, January 24 from Noon – 4 PM.
First, let us know that you plan to host a Readathon party by emailing us at readathon@penguinrandomhouse.com. The first 100 venues to enroll will receive a free Readathon poster to support your event!
Next, be sure to list the event on your January events calendars, write about it in your newsletters, and begin talking about the event with your regular customers, readers or students. You can download any of the posters, banners, logos and graphics below to post to your website, use in your newsletter, or print out for display.
Additionally, you can create a fundraising team, under the name of your bookstore, school, or library. Then you and your staff, patrons, and/or students can all fund raise together as a group! Get started creating your fundraising team here.
During the Readathon itself, on January 24, you could provide refreshments and a comfortable area to read for all the readers joining your reading party. Share photos of everyone gathered reading in your venue using the hashtag, #timetoread!
