World Book Night, the organization whose goal is to distribute 1 million free books to people across the nation on April 23, is still looking for Givers to volunteer to distribute books in the Austin area on 4/23. As a distribution center, we’re working with the Central Texas Chapter of World Book Night to organize the effort here in Austin.
What does it mean to be a Giver? It’s simple. You fill out the application on the World Book Night website and tell the organization your plan for distributing books. Here’s the list of books that will be given away.
What kind of plan are they looking for? Anything that will put a book into the hands of someone who doesn’t regularly read, or who doesn’t have easy access to books. This could be people in a prison, folks in nursing homes and hospitals, children at a neighborhood school. Who in our community do you think would most benefit from the gift of a free book?
After you’ve heard back from the World Book Night organization and your registration is complete, you’ll pick up your books at BookPeople on April 23 and then hand them out. That’s it!
Giver registration is open to both individuals and groups. If you’re a group and you’re interested in registering, please send an email to online@bookpeople.com.

Do you buy your own books or do you just have to pick them up?
World Book Night Givers don’t buy any books. There’s no cost to you at all (no registration fee, nothing to buy, etc.) All you have to do is sign up, and then on April 23rd you’ll come to BookPeople to pick up the free books you’ll hand out.
