International
Book Giving Day is a volunteer initiative aimed at getting books in the
hands of as many children as possible on February 14, 2013.
International Book Giving Day’s focus
is on encouraging people worldwide to engage in simple acts of giving.
We will invite individuals to: 1) give a book to a friend or family
member, 2) leave a book in a waiting room for children to read, or 3)
donate a book to a local hospital, shelter or library or to an
organization that distributes used books to children internationally.
In addition, we will encourage people
to support the work of nonprofit organizations (i.e. charities) that
work year round to give books to children, such as Room to Read, Books
for Africa, Book Aid International, The Book Bus, Indigenous Literacy
Foundation and Pratham Books.
