Sign Up Today to Volunteer for World Book Day

What reader doesn't want to share a good book with someone else? How about volunteering to give away free books?

World Book Night is April 23 and is one of the participants.

The deadline to register to volunteer is Monday, Feb. 6. Registration is available online.

World Book Night is a campaign to find light or non-readers in the community and hand them each a book.

It was started in the United Kingdom last year, and it is coming to our shores on April 23 — William Shakespeare's birthday. The World Book Night organization is printing hundreds of thousands of special free paperback editions, and they are looking for thousands of volunteers to go out on April 23 and give books out to get more people reading. 

All you need to become a giver is a little time, a love of books and the desire to
give something to your community.

Subterranean Books is having a book pickup and open house for World Book Night from 7-8 p.m. on April 19. For more information vist the World Book Night web site or call 314-862-6100.
