People can follow their favorite authors directly. Authors can share updates about their work. Readers can see these updates. They can comment on them. The feature also includes special groups. These groups focus on different book genres. Users can join groups for mystery, romance, science fiction, and other types. Group members discuss books they like. They recommend books to each other. This helps readers find new books they might enjoy.
Facebook wants to connect readers worldwide. The Reading Community makes finding book discussions easier. It puts everything in one place on Facebook. Users do not need to leave the app. They can see what friends are reading. They can see what authors are posting. They can join conversations instantly.

A Facebook executive explained the idea. “People already talk about books on Facebook. We built the Reading Community to make this better. Readers want to connect over stories. Authors want to reach their fans. This feature helps both groups. It supports a global love for reading.” The company sees this as supporting existing activity. It builds on how people naturally use the platform. The Reading Community is free. It is part of the standard Facebook app. Users can access it immediately. No special download is needed. Facebook hopes it encourages more reading discussions online. The feature is rolling out globally starting today.
