<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">WORLD BOOK NIGHT 2013 is a celebration of literacy by publishers, bookstores, libraries and individuals who love books and reading. On WORLD BOOK NIGHT 2013, 25,000 “book givers” will each give away 20 copies of
a specially-printed, not-for-resale WBN edition of book they have read and loved (from a list of 25-30 titles selected by librarians and booksellers) to complete strangers – people who may never have owned a book of their own. To promote this literacy event,
libraries and bookstores – as organizational participants in the event – form a nationwide advocacy and distribution network.<o:p></o:p></p>
