World Book Night: one million free books to give away - have you been selected?

Hello. I'm new to this thread.

I picked up my books - Rebecca by Daphne Du Maurier - today, and just filling out the book plate page.

collected mine today they were heavy now gotta find a way to keep 25 books in my work locker to give out to the employees

I've just received an email asking me to sign up to World Book Night once again. It's a scheme where you get a box of books, all the same title, to give away

From the website...
World Book Night is a celebration of reading and books which sees tens of thousands of passionate volunteers gift specially chosen and printed WBN books in their communities to share their love of reading.
Each year we recruit 20,000 volunteers to hand out 20 copies of their favourite book from our list to members of their community who don’t regularly read. By enlisting thousands of passionate book lovers around the country World Book Night reaches out to the millions of people in the UK who have yet to fall in love with reading in the hope that we can start them on their reading journey. In addition World Book Night distributes half a million books directly to the hardest to reach potential readers in prisons, care homes, hospitals, sheltered, supported and social housing, the homeless and through partner charities working throughout the UK. World Book Night is about giving books and encouraging reading in those who don’t regularly do so. But it is also about more than that: it’s about people, communities and connections, about reaching out to others and touching lives in the simplest of ways, through the sharing of stories.

Each year I sign up, the idea is that you give the books free of charge to people who don't normally read. Mind you, I always keep one for myself

So not just a freebie for you, one for a lot of other people too :T

Thanks for posting. I would love to be involved. I hope I get picked!

Sorry, I fired off the question before reading the website and FAQs
