Support The Ockhams NZ Book Awards In Your Library 2020

On March 4, 2020 the 16 finalists of one of the most important literary events of the year – the Ockham New Zealand Book Awards – will be announced – and we’d love the support of libraries in promoting these wonderful New Zealand books and their talented authors. You can look at the long list now, which was released last week. 
 
Here are eight things you can do to get involved:

1. Order promotional material (displaying the finalists) for your library.  You can order 20 bookmarks at no charge, or a full pack containing 50 eight-page booklets, 50 bookmarks and two A3 posters for the very reasonable cost of $30 plus GST, including cost of delivery. Just complete this form by 5pm, February 10, 2020.
2. Download a finalist poster from March 4, 2020 from http://www.nzbookawards.nz/new-zealand-book-awards/resources/
3. Create a finalist book display. Any promotional material orders will include a free allocation of finalist stickers to put on your books.
4. Connect on social media https://www.facebook.com/NewZealandBookAwards/ and https://twitter.com/theockhams using the hashtag #theockhams
5. Watch out for news items about the shortlist announcement from March 4, 2020 and share them on your facebook page.
6. Organise a finalist author event
7. Read and review shortlisted titles
8. Share book reviews on your social media pages/web-sites
