World Book Night is about celebrating and sharing books with others. Each year, copies of the books on our booklist are donated to organisations across the UK that can reach people who don’t regularly read for pleasure or have access to books. Books are sent in time to be distributed on World Book Night, 23 April. If you work for an organisation that can reach our target audiences, apply to receive books by 27 January.
World Book Night is run by The Reading Agency, a national charity that tackles life’s big challenges through the proven power of reading.
