World Bookstore Night @ Subterranean Books

Saturday, February 4th, 2012

 

Subterranean Books is participating in World Book Night On April 23rd.
Want to be part of a million-book giveaway?  Want to volunteer to change a  life?  You can, as part of World Book Night, on April 23, 2012.

 

What is World Book Night?  It is a campaign to find light or non-readers in the community and hand them each a book and to  get more people reading!  It was started in the U.K. last year, and it is coming to our shores  on April 23, 2012… Shakespeare birthday, not coincidentally, as well!
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 across America.   You pick the place: hospital or diner, school  or … well, lots of possibilities.

 

Be Creative.

Sign up by February 6 to be a book giver on World Book Night! Please go the website to read up on its mission, the books you can choose  from to give away, and some rules and regulations. All you need to  become a giver is a little time, a love of books, and the desire to  give something to your community.

Join Subterranean Books for an open house on Thursday, April 19th from 7-8pm. Books will be available for pick up and Subterranean Books will provide refreshments and great giveaways, so be sure to be there!
Think about where you’d like to give away the books before you go  online to apply. And thank you! We love this idea and we will be your  community center for World Book Night support.  For more information vist the World book Night Website at http://www.us.worldbooknight.org/ or call 314-862-6100.
