A wonderful method used as a way to encourage reading while remaining in the modern age of technology is to brand your school library using hashtags.  It is crucial that we all nurture a love for reading and with school libraries in particular.  A hashtag does a lot to get students into reading.

Just the fact that this is a modern technique will attract kids’ interest.  You need to put thought into what your hashtag will be because it is a reflection of the image you want for your library.  In addition, a hashtag is a call to action for everyone within and around  your community.
