World Book Night is scheduled for April 23, 2012. To quote from its website:
“We need 50,000 book-loving volunteers to fan out across America on April 23, 2012! Just take 20 free copies of a book to a location in your community, and you just might change someone’s life.
The goal is to give books to new readers, to encourage reading, to share your passion for a great book. The entire publishing, bookstore, library, author, printing, and paper community is behind this effort with donated services and time. And with a million free World Book Night paperbacks!”
We need volunteers from Teton Valley to give free books out to people who don’t read books. Dark Horse Books has volunteer to be a distribution center where the book givers can pick up their copies of the free books. We will have a fun party that evening for all of the valley givers. The books selected for 2012 are fantastic. Check out the list of 30 titles being given way here. http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/wbn2012-the-books
If you are interested in sharing your love of reading and books, sign up here. The deadline for signing to be a book giver is February 1st.
