Every year, the New York Public Library publishes humorous Black Friday ads that promote things like free books and 100% off coupons. This Thanksgiving the library offered a “Book Your Dream Getaway.” The “Black Friday travel deal” is an “all-inclusive package” with “millions of destinations” and an “all-you-can-read buffet.” And this year you can “travel free from the kitchen to the couch” without concerns about any travel restrictions. The only passport you need to take advantage of these unbelievable deals is a library card because of course, you’ll be traveling via books.
The clever ads are emailed to the NYPL’s subscribers and this year it will also be printed as a full-page advertisement in The New York Times.
