Did you know today is International Book Giving Day? It’s a day dedicated to getting new, used and borrowed books in the hands of as many children as possible. As a book-loving family this is something that we support today and every day!
There are 3 simple ways to celebrate International Book Giving Day:
1. Give a Book to a Friend or Relative.Celebrate International Book Giving Day by giving a child a new, used or borrowed book.
2. Leave a Book in a Waiting Room or Lobby.
Choose a waiting room where kids are stuck waiting and there are few to no good books available. Purchase a good book, and deposit your book covertly or overtly in your waiting room of choice. The goal here is to spread the love of reading to kids, so choose a fun book, nothing controversial.
3. Donate a Book.
Wrap up a box of children’s books that your kids have outgrown and get them in the hands of children who could really use a book or two. Donate your books to your local charity shop, library, children’s hospital, or shelter. Alternatively, donate your books to an organization working internationally to get books in the hands of kids, such as Books for Africa.
Giveaway:
To celebrate International Book Giving Day I am very excited to have a copy of Butterfly and the birthday surprise by Mandy Archer and Kirsteen Harris-Jones to giveaway to one lucky reader.
