Insta Novels: Bringing Classic Literature to Instagram Stories

Introducing
Insta Novels, a reimagining of Instagram Stories to provide a new platform for
iconic stories.
Insta
Novels launched today on the Library's Instagram account (@nypl) with Part 1 of a newly
digitized version of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis
Carroll. The novel is illustrated by well-known designer Magoz (@magoz).
In
the coming months, look for two other literary works that will be released
on the Library's Instagram account: "The Yellow Wallpaper," a short
story by Charlotte Perkins Gilman illustrated by Buck (@buck_design) and The
Metamorphosis, a novella by Franz Kafka illustrated by César Pelizer (@cesarpelizer).
The
New York Public Library joined forces with the independent advertising and
creative agency, Mother in New York,
to create Insta Novels. The program aims to make great stories
available even more widely.
How
It Works
First,
go to the Library's Instagram account (@nypl)
and tap Part 1 of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland in the Highlights
section, right under the bio.
Rest
your thumb on lower right part of the screen to hold the page, and lift your
thumb to turn the page. (The lower right thumb holder is designed to double as
a flip book: if you lift your thumb and let the pages flip, you'll see an
animation.)
As
more stories are added, the NYPL Instagram account's Highlights will turn into
a digital bookshelf. READ
