Do you love books so much you want everyone to read?
Be a part of World Book Night.
World Book Night launched in the U.K. in 2011 and saw passionate
readers across the country, give 1 million books to light or non
readers to spread the joy and love of reading. Reading changes lives
and is fundamental to helping our children. At the heart of World
Book Night lies the simplest of ideas and acts - that of putting a
book into another person's hand and encouraging them to read
it.
World Book Night 2012 will be held on April 23 - in the U.S. and the
U.K. - and we're looking for 50,000 volunteer book givers to hand out
20 copies each - for a total of 1 million free special World Book
Night paperbacks!
If you are interested in signing up, please visit:
http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/about-world-book-night/register-as-a-2012-giver.
Signups are due no later than Monday, February 6th.
