RI Kids Count and the RI Department of Education are inviting people across the state to post their favorite books to social media this week, with the hashtag #rireads.
It's also the week of Gordon's Book Fair, and the Gordon community responded to the invitation eagerly.
The result was a welcome reminder of what social media is meant to do: help people connect with one another and, at its best, help a young writer touch somebody who they might otherwise never meet.
