How can you help?

 

Sign up to be a Giver by February 1. (Deadline now extended to February 6th!) Then, on April 23rd, come to Prince Books, Norfolk's WBN distribution center, to pick up the special WBN paperback books, then hand them out. 

 

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.


Registration is open to both individuals and groups. This would be a perfect project for your school, workplace, book club, church, etc.  

 

Join us in helping make this happen!
