World Book Night

Are you an avid reader? Would you like to share your love of books with others?

On World Book Night 25,000 passionate readers across America -- including some DC Public Library Staff -- will hand out books within their communities to those who don’t regularly read and/or people who don’t normally have access to books. Each volunteer gets 20 free copies of a popular book title to give away on World Book Night, April 23.

World Book Night will deliver the books to a participating bookstore or a DC Public Library location.
