Social Media Madness

August 15, 2014 by NVo

Books Between Kids has been on Facebook for a while, and now for those of you who are Twitter fans, you can follow us there as well!  Our timing couldn’t be better, as the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation’s (BBHLF) social media competition kicked off yesterday!  As a non-profit organization, we could win the cash prize of $10,000!  This would be a huge boost to a small-budget organization like ours.

So … how can you help us win the competition?  First, please make sure you are following us on Facebook and Twitter.  Second, “like” our logo photo and the BBHLF Facebook page and retweet our logo tweet from the BBHLF Twitter feed.  Each step for Facebook and Twitter is listed below with links so you can click through the steps quickly.

Please take a minute and follow the next three steps for Facebook:

Step 1: Share our page with your friends, and ask them to “like” us on Facebook:   Books Between Kids Facebook page

Step 2:  “Like” this original posting of our logo from the BBHLF Facebook page:   BBK Logo on BBHLF Facebook page

Step 3: Please “like” the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation on Facebook to keep up with their literacy efforts in Houston:  BBHLF Facebook page.

If you have a Twitter account, please follow the next three steps for Twitter:

Step 1:  Please follow us on Twitter:  BBK Twitter feed

Step 2:  Retweet the BBHLF tweet of our logo:  BBK Logo tweet

Step 3:  Follow the Barbara Bush Houston Literacy Foundation on Twitter:  BBHLF Twitter feed

BBHLF will tally the cumulative total of likes and retweets from both of our social media accounts when the contest ends on September 19th.  This is an exciting opportunity, not only to win some cash for Books Between Kids, but also to increase our social media audience and elevate awareness of the importance of literacy across our community.

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!

Books Between Kids was created with one simple ide Books Between Kids was created with one simple idea in mind: kids experience something extraordinary when they get to give the gift of books to other kids. What began as a small effort between families has grown into a citywide movement rooted in community.

Every gift made this #GivingTuesday helps us place more stories into the hands of Houston children. Click the link in our bio to create book owners, ignite imaginations, and strengthen our entire community.
