US World Book Night
"We need 50,000 book-loving volunteers to fan out across America on April
23, 2012! Just take 20 free copies of a book to a location in your
community, and you just might change someone's life.
The goal is to give books to new readers, to encourage reading, to share
your passion for a great book. The entire publishing, bookstore,
library, author, printing, and paper community is behind this effort
with donated services and time. And with a million free World Book Night
paperbacks!"
The US sign-up date is by Feb. 1. There are also UK and Ireland sites.
Here author's say their name, sometimes with stories about their naming or meaning of the names too.
