Help Spread the Love of Reading with The Frugal Frigate

The Frugal Frigate is inviting community members to World Book Night, months in advance. The annual celebration is dedicated to spreading the love of reading and is held each year on April 23 — Shakespeare's birthday. Annually, tens of thousands of people throughout the United States go out into their communities and give a total of half a million free World Book Night paperbacks to light and non-readers. Each year, 30 to 35 books are chosen by an independent panel of librarians and booksellers. The authors of the books waive their royalties and the publishers agree to pay the costs of producing the specially-printed World Book Night U.S. editions. The Frugal Frigate, A Children's Bookstore, has signed up to be community host location for the volunteer book givers in Redlands. Members of the public apply to personally hand out 20 copies of a particular title in their community. World Book Night U.S. vets the applications and the givers are chosen based on their ability to reach light and non-readers. The selected givers can choose The Frugal Frigate to pick up the 20 copies of their book, and World Book Night U.S. delivers the books right to the bookstore. Givers pick up their books in the week before World Book Night. On April 23, they give their books to those who don’t regularly read and/or people who don’t normally have access to printed books, for reasons of means or geography. Book givers receive 20 free paperback copies of one World Book Night title, not too many to carry but enough to share with a good number of potential new readers. The final day to sign up to become a volunteer book giver is Jan. 5. More information, along with guidelines and sign up details, can be found at www.frugalfrigate.com or www.us.worldbooknight.org.
