Share Your Love of Reading on April 23!

April 23 is an important day for readers.  It marks the day of William Shakespeare's birth and death as well as the death of Miguel de Cervantes.  April 23 is also recognized as the International Day of the Book by UNESCO (United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization).  

In the spirit of April 23, World Book Night was organized as a way for readers to share their love of reading with others.  Book givers volunteer to give away 20 copies of a title of their choosing to random strangers.  The Tiffin-Seneca Public Library has been confirmed as a distribution point for World Book Night 2013!  

How do you become a book giver?  You can sign up to be a book giver on April 23 from the World Book Night website.  Choose one of the twenty offered titles (the title list can be accessed here) to hand out to random strangers.  You can choose from classics like Fahrenheit 451 and My Antonia to contemporary works like The Language of Flowers and Salvage the Bones.  The library will receive the boxes of books during the week of April 15 and hold a book givers open house where you can pick up your books.  That's it!  You then have the pleasure of sharing the title you choose with twenty random people.  

Sign up today and mark the Tiffin-Seneca Public Library as your distribution point.  We look forward to helping you spread your love of reading!
