About World Book Night
World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of passionate volunteers gift books in their communities to share their love of reading. 1,000,000 books are given out in total - half of these are donated directly to hospitals, prisons and care homes, and the other half go to the Givers to distribute among individuals in their communities.
In 2012 World Book Night will be celebrated in the UK, Ireland, Germany and USA on April 23.
