Abstract: In the age of all media, reader-focused social reading of online community, which
features sharing and interaction, becomes increasingly popular. A fan reading community model
for classic reading promotion in university libraries is to take advantages of network community.
University libraries could make use of the academic influence and public appeal of academic stars to
attract students who love classical reading, and provide stable community value output through a longterm
model of classical reading to guide the reading behavior of the community members. To develop
the fan reading community, we should win the support from library, school, and faculties, keep in mind
the goal of community (namely, to cultivate classical reading habits of its members), attach importance
to recruitment of new members, provide pleasant reading experience and build up a tolerant community
culture.

Key words:  Classic reading promotion, Fan communit, Fan reading community, Online community,
