World Book Night 2013
World Book Night is held every year on April 23rd, which is, supposedly, Shakespeare's
birthday. That's why they chose that date. And World Book Night is an organization that
gives us these books with these editions for free. Publishers and authors waive their rights
to the royalties for those books and that's why they're able to distribute them for no
charge.
Our hope in doing this is to reach a wider community that wouldn't normally be coming
in to the library. That's why we go out in to the town to places like the Metra station
where people are not otherwise coming in to the library.
