World Book Night, the one-night event with the goal of distributing one million free books across the country, needs book-loving folks to volunteer as Givers to help put free books into people’s hands. Want to help? Visit the World Book Night website and sign up to hand out twenty WBN paperbacks in your community on Monday, April 23, 2012. It takes a lot of hands to give out one million books. In order to make it happen, WBN needs 50,000 book lovers to sign up by February 1st.

BookPeople will be Austin’s World Book Night distribution center on April 23rd, handing out 20 WBN paperbacks to each registered Giver to then take out into the community. We’re proud to be part of this incredible campaign to enrich communities by encouraging literacy and spreading the love of books worldwide. Join us in helping make this happen!
