YPG + RTW World Book Night Give-Away
It’s not too late to join us to support World Book Night 2013! As many of you already know, World Book Night (http://www.worldbooknight.org/) is an annual celebration designed to spread a love of reading and books, to be held in the U.S. as well as the U.K. and Ireland on Tuesday, April 23, 2013. It will see tens of thousands of people go out into their communities to spread the joy and love of reading by giving out free World Book Night paperbacks… and YPG is thrilled to be part of it. Fellow publishing volunteering organization, Room to Write (RTW), will also be teaming up with YPG to join in the book-giving love. Details are below on how to join us for this global celebration:
WHO: Any YPG member, YPG Link member, or Room to Write member already signed up to be a World Book Night giver! (If you are a giver, you should have already received your confirmation email telling you your pick-up location. If you applied and did not receive a confirmation email OR WOULD STILL LIKE TO SIGN UP TO BE A GIVER, contact bworthington@publishers.org
WHEN: April 23, 2013 at 6:30pm sharp
WHERE: YPG and Room to Write World Book Night givers will be meeting on the steps of the New York Public Library (5th Avenue and 42nd St) to give out our World Book Night books to passersby in Bryant Park. We urge anyone interested to bring your box of WBN books and meet us there. Look for the person holding the big World Book Night poster and a group of people wearing YPG nametags. (Note: If you want to give your books out in another location, we salute that as well! Have fun wherever you give!)
