More than 25,000 volunteers from Berkley to Boston and Sitka to Sarasota will give away half a million free books in more than 6,000 towns and cities across the country. World Book Night U.S. is an ambitious campaign to give free, specially-printed books to light or non-readers across America.

Volunteer book lovers will help promote reading by going into communities and handing out free copies of a book we love to those without means or access to a printed book. With the support of local schools, bookstores and libraries books will be shared in locations as diverse as hospitals, mass transit, nursing homes, Little League games, food pantries, and more.

FRCS is very proud to be participating in World Book Night U.S., and on Tuesday and its group of WBN book givers will be spreading the love of reading, person to person, by handing out books.
