There should have an enhancement for attracting people and welcome them to join reading and sharing.
After sitting on the grass for 3 hours, 3 teenagers and 2 kids spared time with me to read the books and share their opinion about what is a fairy look like.
How about creating books with strangers?- while creating your page, you need to read through the previous pages- being involved / increase the sense of belonging -> a new experience of READ & COMMUNICATE
