No More World Book Night :(

I got an email this morning from WBN that they're going to be discontinuing the event. They've had funding issues and just can't carry on. I loves being able to
participate and spread my love of reading with others and am sad this has ended.

"People talk about escapism as if it's a bad thing... Once you've escaped, once you come back, the world is not the same as when you left it. You come back to it with skills, weapons, knowledge you didn't have before. Then you are better equipped to deal with your current reality."

Re: No More World Book Night :(

  • Yeah, I just saw this in my inbox.  I'm very sad too.  We should just do a mini book night and all agree to pass out 5 books or something along those lines...to keep the love of reading alive!

  • This is so sad!  I have never participated and was hoping to get involved next year.

    Well, there is the Operation Teen Book Drop that happens in April, so we should all participate in that instead.

    We should!  I was so sad to read the email this morning because I really enjoyed both years I signed up as a giver.

  • I knew that they were having troubles when they sent that survey to ask if WBN volunteers would be willing to pay for their box of books. 

    I'm sad that it's gone and hoping that something will pop up in its place.

  • This just means I'm going to have to do the Book Drop.  I liked handing out the WBN books but I sometimes wondered if I was able to hit their key demographic.  It's so sad that it's ending though  :((
