Based off viral internet book clubs like Dracula Daily, ECU's Joyner library started our own digital book club. Using public domain literature and open access photos we divided each story into bite-sized sections and emailed them out to students, faculty, and staff on campus who signed up for the newsletter. This session will share successes and failures from our first two years running this program as well as detail how we navigated logistics, marketed the program, and continue to work to ensure diverse and inclusive voices while using 100+ year old texts. Having now used a novel, short stories, poems, and non-fiction essays in different semesters this session will also discuss the pros and cons of each format and how we are hoping to improve in the future.
