Celebrating International Book Giving Day: Free Book Giveaway!
Did you know that February 14th is not only Valentine’s Day? It also happens to be International Book Giving Day.
What better way to say, “I love you” than giving a child a book they can cherish and read over and over again?
So, let’s all show a little book love!
In the spirit of this special day, my author pals and I are dedicating this blog hop to the love of books and offering a fabulous Book Giveaway Extravaganza.
Please have a read and then enter our free giveaway for a chance to win autographed books by some awesome authors.
What Exactly is International Book Giving Day?
The goal of this wonderful day celebrated worldwide is to give as many children as possible the delightful gift of a free book.
The special day provides an opportunity to help a child learn about the joy of reading, offer an exciting journey to another place or time, and provide educational and inspirational opportunities.
After all, the magic of a book can inspire, educate, and entertain children – sometimes all at the same time.
International Book Giving Day encourages all of us to give a book to a friend or family member or donate a gently used book to a local library, hospital or shelter, or to an organization that distributes used books to children in need internationally.
For more information and a list of non-profit organizations that give away books to children year-round, click here.
