If you’re on social media (
Facebook,
Instagram, or
Twitter) and interested in libraries, you may have come across the hashtags
#bookface or
#bookfacefriday.
According to the
New York Times “bookface involves strategically lining up your face or another body part alongside a book cover that features a matching body part so that there appears a melding of life and art.”

To highlight some of the
Nebraska 150 books, we’ve been posing Library Commission staff (and sometimes their kids!) for our own Bookface Fridays. It’s trickier than you’d think! Fortunately we have a photographer with a great eye, and some good-natured staff!
You can see past bookface photos on the
Center for the Book’s Facebook page, or check in every Friday to see the latest shot!
Has anyone at your library posted a #bookfacefriday?
