PBS Launches Multi-Platform Book Club
Detroit Public Television, in partnership with PBS, is expanding its PBS Books initiative and launching the PBS Books Readers Club, a multiplatform book club connecting readers nationwide.
Offerings will include a monthly video series featuring in-depth conversations with authors; weekly social media content; a biweekly newsletter with book-related articles and book recommendations; and a PBS Books Readers Club Facebook Group where readers can chat, discover new books, and submit questions for featured authors.
Every month, PBS Books will select book club picks that will be discussed in the series, e-newsletter, and on social media. The featured books will pair with programming and themes viewers see on PBS programs. The effort will be promoted by PBS Books and PBS stations nationwide, as well as through the national PBS Books Library Engagement network.
The inaugural book club pick for January is Horse by Geraldine Brooks.
