Lend Fate a Hand: Intentional Book Threading Ideas

Teacher-Student Book Thread

The Threaded Global Book Project is a community of people who stitch books and readers by unseen threads of fate, tying them to the books and stories they were destined to discover.

Threaded sparks connections among people through books that are meaningful to them. 

We start book Threads by tagging books and introducing Threads to the world.  Then, we let

fate take over and watch as our books pass from hands to hands around the globe.  Our Threaded books tie us to other readers, and our books' impacts multiply the farther they travel.

So far, the Threaded Instagram has highlighted spontaneous Threads around the world. Popular Threaded spots have been in Little Free Libraries, theme parks, coffee shops, park benches, and at city landmarks.

Intentional Book Threads

Another great way to enjoy Threaded is to Thread books intentionally. Think of people with whom you associate over a particular idea or interest. Are you a member of a club, team, community, group, or niche? Do you discuss gardening with your neighbors, cook global food with friends, share playlists with other music lovers, trade fitness advice with gym-enthusiasts, share motivational readings with your corporation's innovations team?

Sport-Specific Book Thread

Wherever there's a shared interest, there's a Book Thread waiting to be spun.

• Party Planners: Incorporate a Book Thread in your next event. Have guests donate books to Thread or use Threaded books as table decorations or in swag bags.

• Special Occasions: Gift a Threaded book to a special teacher during Teacher Appreciation Week, a book on leadership to a friend who got promoted, or a motivational book to a recent graduate.
