About World Book Night (WBN)
What is World Book Night?
World Book Night is an annual celebration designed to spread a love of reading and books. To be held in the U.S. as well as the U.K. and Ireland on April 23, 2012. It will see tens of thousands of people go out into their communities to spread the joy and love of reading by giving out free World Book Night paperbacks.
World Book Night, through social media and traditional publicity, will also promote the value of reading, of printed books, and of bookstores and libraries to everyone year-round.
Successfully launched in the U.K. in 2011, World Book Night will also be celebrated in the U.S. in 2012, with news of more countries to come in future years. Please join our mailing list for regular World Book Night U.S. news. And thank you to our U.K. friends for such a wonderful idea!
Additionally, April 23 is UNESCO’s World Book Day, chosen due to the anniversary of Cervantes’ death, as well as Shakespeare’s birth and death.
I'm soooo excited!!!
Want to play along? All that's necessary to participate is to describe your life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. For more information, try clicking here. Feel free to explain or not explain. Add an image, a video, a song, nothing. The full list and linky can be found here. And, here's where I found it.
I found them on FB as well!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful idea... which book are you giving away?

ReplyDeleteThere's not enough reding in this world. It's all gadgets and the like. I love books. That was a great list on the site. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteReading is such a great pastime. I love to read!
ReplyDeleteI sometimes go through times when I can't get "into" certain books, and I don't finish them...but if it is a good one I find it hard to put down until I am done with it.
Yay for books!!!
