(Wylie ISD) World Book Night U.S. is coming to more than 6,000 towns and cities across America as 25,000 volunteers will give away half a million free books on April 23, 2012.
World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious campaign to personally give out thousands of free, specially printed books across America. Volunteer book lovers, including the Wylie ISD librarians, will help promote reading by going into our communities and handing out free copies of a book they love to new or light readers, reaching them especially in underserved places – and even some fun spots.
Volunteers will be picking up the books at local bookstores or libraries and them distributing in locations as diverse as VA hospitals, nursing homes, ballparks, mass transit, diners, and more.
