World Book Night is Monday April 23: Shelf Awareness: Booksellers Embrace World Book Night, Part 2
The inaugural World Book Night in the U.S. takes place Monday, April 23. We checked in with booksellers to see how they're gearing up for the nationwide event, during which 25,000 volunteers are giving away 20 books each in their communities. A half a million specially printed copies of 30 different titles are being distributed as part of the organization's mission to spread a love of reading and books.
World Book Night was launched in the U.K. in 2011. April 23 commemorates three literary anniversaries: the birth and death of Shakespeare and the death of Miguel Cervantes. It has been designated World Book Day by UNESCO in the two scribes' honor.
If you aren't signed up as a giver, you can still participate by buying and giving a book to somebody you know. (or just give one to yourself) (or give one to Ballou SR High School Library)
