October 24, 2013
World Book Night is April 23, 2014, and you can celebrate by applying to be a giver! It’s really easy: just fill out the application here and if you’re selected, you’ll receive 20 copies of one of the book selections to give away to light or non-readers. You’ll need to apply by January 5.
I was chosen as a giver last year and I know a number of you all were too! This is a great opportunity to share the love of reading with others!
Here are the books you can choose from:
And here’s more info on the program from the World Book Night folks:
Volunteer book givers are central to World Book Night U.S., putting wonderful books into the hands of light or non-readers in their communities.
On April 23, 2013, U.S. book givers personally handed out half a million printed books in 5,800 towns and cities across the country. And we’re doing it again together this year!
We provide the free books, and the book givers seek out light or non-readers, especially people who may not have access to printed books for reasons of means or geography. Book givers receive 20 free paperback copies of one World Book Night title, not too many to carry but enough to share with a good number of potential new readers.
Are you interested in becoming a World Book Night U.S. book giver? We ask you to fill out the World Book Night U.S. online application; click here to begin. You will be asked what your first, second, and third book choices are, why you wish to share these books, and where you will go to personally hand out the books. Apply by January 5, 2014.
