Menlo Park: Kepler’s joins Facebook’s Small Business Council

Kepler’s Books announced it has been selected to join Facebook’s 2017 U.S. Small Business Council. It is one of only 11 businesses in the U.S. selected out of a pool of 5 million businesses that advertise on Facebook, Kepler’s said.

Nicole Hughes, Kepler’s director of special projects at Kepler’s Literary Foundation, and Praveen Madan, Kepler’s community engagement officer, spent two days at Facebook headquarters and met with the company’s marketing and product staff to receive instruction on how to better use the social media platform’s products for the Kepler’s bookstore, literary foundation and subscription-based “GiftLit” program.

“Small businesses, like Kepler’s, are the backbone of our economy and the heart of our communities so when they succeed, everyone wins,” said Sheryl Sandberg, chief operating officer of Facebook and a Menlo Park resident.
