This is a warning not be surprised if someone gives you a book on Wednesday. Wednesday evening is the third annual World Book Night, and The Book House in Maplewood is taking part. As the name implies, it’s an international event.
Friday evening Book House employees handed out 25 to 30 boxes of new books to people who volunteered to be World Book Night givers. The books were donated by publishers and authors.
“The idea is not to give them to friends and family in your book club,” The Book House owner, Michelle Barron said, “but to give them to light and non-readers who wouldn’t normally have access to really good literature.”
