Tonight is also World
Book Night, where free books at distributed at various locations in the United
States. The mission of WBN ... spreading the love of reading person to
person.
The honorary chair of
World Book Night: US is Amy Poehler. In promoting this year’s event she said, “ I
grew up loving books. In today’s digital
world, it is more important than ever to know how good it feels to have a good
book in your hand. I’m thrilled to be a
part of World Book Night. People who read are people who dream, and we connect
through the stories we live, and tell and read “
I feel so humbled to
be a small part of the local celebration. This evening, the Lexington Chapter of
Altrusa participated in World Book Night by distributing free books in
Lexington on West Sixth Street near Altursa’s Free Little Library.
If you love books
like me… tonight was an exciting evening. Giving away books!
What a fantastic
evening!
