Libraries aren't just palaces of dead trees anymore: Lots of libraries and librarians have embraced technology and social media.
And one library-centric hashtag has caught on in the wider book-loving world: #bookface. The idea is to take a book cover and stage a photo that appears to complete it. It's life-meets-(cover) art!
The subjects of #bookface range from graphic novels to biographies and self-help manuals. Most have a human subject or two, but even that isn't a given. Speaking from experience, making a good #bookface photo isn't easy. It takes a trained eye to spot the composition: A green-haired man as the Joker, or a Bob Hope lookalike with an uncannily similar hairline. It's all in the details.
Give it a shot. Stage your own #bookface, and tweet @sideshow with the results.
